Arkia Airlines will offer rescue flights to Israelis seeking to leave Ukraine amid increasing warnings that a Russian invasion may be imminent.
The flights out of Ukraine will be on Monday and Tuesday.
Arkia’s announcement came after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett held an emergency meeting earlier today with top officials about readying plans to evacuate Israelis from Ukraine if needed.
Yesterday, the Foreign Ministry said Israelis currently in Ukraine should consider leaving, but did not instruct them to immediately do so as some Western nations have done.
