A severe crisis has unfolded at Ben Gurion Airport due to ongoing protests. All check-in counters have been shuttered on what was expected to be one of the year’s busiest travel days. The airport is scheduled to close at 2:00 PM local time. Globally, passengers slated to fly to Israel are being removed from their flights, causing widespread disruption. The protests have escalated into a major operational challenge for the airport authorities. This closure will significantly impact both incoming and outgoing travel. The situation remains fluid, with no immediate resolution in sight.
