U.S. to remove 30 refueling aircraft from Ben Gurion Airport
The U.S. military announced on Friday that it will withdraw 30 refueling aircraft from Ben Gurion Airport. The move came after Transportation Minister Miri Regev asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to intervene personally on the issue.
According to the report, the American military accepted Israel's request and agreed to clear the 30 refueling planes from the airport. No further details were given about the timing of the removal or the reason for the request, beyond the effort to relieve congestion at Ben Gurion.
The decision follows Regev's appeal to Netanyahu, which prompted direct handling at the top level. The U.S. response effectively ends the presence of the refueling aircraft at the airport.
