Transportation Minister Miri Regev claimed she had agreed with MSC - the world's second-largest shipping company - on joining the rescue operation for Israelis stranded abroad using the company's ferry. However, the company clarified that "a request was received from the Ministry of Transportation on the matter and it is under review." According to the Ministry of Transportation, one of the routes that will operate under the plan is the Limassol-Ashdod line. Minister Regev's office stated: "We will bring everyone back. By air, sea and land."
