Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu announced that all flights to Israel have been canceled until emergency measures are passed allowing the IDF’s Home Front command to transfer all incoming travelers to supervised isolation facilities, Haaretz reports.

Netanyahu said that Israel-bound planes that are already in the air will be allowed to land, but all traffic will then be halted. The policy will remain in place even after lockdown is lifted.

The prime minister’s decision follows the return of about 70 Israelis who landed at Ben-Gurion International Airport yesterday from New Jersey and were sent to their homes in taxicabs without face masks. Passengers on the flight said that when the plane landed, a Health Ministry representative boarded the plane and instructed them to self-isolate for the next 14 days.

  1. A lot of american avriechim left before Pesach thinking the situation in America would be better…WRONG! Much worse!!So what did they save? Not having to “make Pesach” themselves?!?! Now they can’t come back…What’s going to be with all their stuff here, their rented apartments, etc, etc…

  2. Meshulochim and Schnorrers should not come to the United States at this time since the Vaads across the country are all closed until mid-May or June and people won’t open their doors to anyone.
