Due to the cancellation of flights to Israel, many Israelis abroad are unable to return home. The Foreign Ministry has published a questionnaire for those stranded abroad, and about 4,000 people have already filled it out. Minister Miri Regev has given instructions to use sea routes to return citizens.
Flights to Cyprus and Greece are expected to be organized, possibly to Malta or Italy. Israelis can contact embassies or the Foreign Ministry duty station for information on ports and flights. The return mechanism will begin to operate soon, but some will have to stay abroad for several days.
Minister Regev asked Israeli airlines not to overcharge for flights. Some companies encountered difficulties, sending several empty planes due to the lack of escort from the Shin Bet. The CEO of Arkia expressed dissatisfaction with the situation and the country's lack of preparation for such circumstances, calling for an increase in the number of flights for the urgent return of Israelis. The Shin Bet claims that the airline acted without their consent.
