A joint recommendation by the National Security Council (NSC) and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to transfer the responsibility for the security of foreign flights arriving in Israel, as well as foreign flights operated by Israeli companies, was ultimately shelved. The recommendation, developed over two years with the agreement of the Civil Aviation Authority (RAA), concluded that the Ministry of Transport's security department was unable to fulfill its duties. This assessment was reportedly influenced by findings from the 2024 State Comptroller's report, which highlighted difficulties within the ministry's security division. The RAA had agreed to assume the new responsibilities. However, the recommendation was reportedly abandoned after Minister of Transport Miri Regev indicated she would not adopt it.
