Israel's Population and Immigration Authority has strongly refuted reports claiming that approximately 1,200 airline crew members from hostile countries entered Israeli territory. The authority issued a statement clarifying that the information circulating, which alleged the arrival of 1,200 crew members from adversarial nations, was not released or approved by them. The statement emphatically asserted that individuals holding nationalities from countries designated as hostile are strictly prohibited from entering Israel, with no exceptions for crew members or general travelers. This official denial comes after earlier reports surfaced, suggesting that during a discussion in a subcommittee of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, it was revealed that 1,240 flight crew members from countries without diplomatic ties to Israel had entered the country over the past year. These earlier reports had specifically mentioned citizens from Syria and Lebanon among those individuals.
