Palestinian Authority urges Palestinians not to use Israeli airport

GAZA, 25 August 2022, (TON): The Palestinian Authority urged Palestinians not to take advantage of concessions promised by Israel that would allow them to travel through Ramon aiport in southern Israel, saying they should have their own airport.

Israel’s Airports Authority this month said “Palestinians from the occupied West Bank would be offered special flights from Ramon, near the Red Sea resort city of Eilat, to destinations in Turkey.”

The move followed pressure from the United States to ease some of the strict travel restrictions which prevent Palestinians from using Israeli airports including Ben Gurion, Israel’s main international hub without special permission.

Palestinians traveling abroad frequently do so through neighboring Jordan but there are often long delays at the border crossing.
