The government has instructed Israeli airlines not to allow departures from Israel when evacuation flights are organized to bring Israelis stranded abroad back home. The reason given is the directive from security officials who fear attacks on aircraft and want to minimize large gatherings as much as possible. More than 100,000 Israelis are stranded abroad in the shadow of the war with Iran. The Ministry of Transportation confirmed that bringing those stranded abroad back to Israel will be a long and gradual process lasting at least several weeks, and only during windows when there is no missile fire from Iran – and certainly not within a few days.
