Former Israeli Transport Ministry CEO Blames Political Appointments for Ben Gurion Airport Crisis

Karen Turner, former CEO of Israel's Ministry of Transport and a member of the Beyachad party, criticized the ongoing crisis at Ben Gurion Airport. She stated that the Israeli public is bearing the consequences of poor public services due to excessive political appointments and failed management within the ministry. Turner emphasized that the current situation, which she described as a ministry in the midst of collapse, is not inevitable and can be fixed. She also condemned the normalization of the belief that nothing can be improved and pointed out upcoming changes, including the discontinuation of the 'Diamonds' system and the ministry's leadership not taking a collective vacation in Morocco at the end of August as previously done.
