Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked says that flights in and out of Israel could be halted once again if the rate of new COVID cases continues to rise.
“The situation at Ben Gurion Airport is the central concern,” Shaked tells reporters at Israel’s main airport after touring the terminal. “The simple solution is to close the airport. But the situation today is different than it was, and we’re trying to keep the airport open. But if the morbidity rises, then the flights will stop.”
