Israel suspends flights to South Africa
Friday 26 January 2024 - 16:00

The Israeli airline “El Al” announced on Friday that it would suspend its flights to South Africa, justifying its decision due to the decline in demand after the Gaza war.

In a statement, the company explained that “following the current security situation, we notice a significant decline in demand from Israeli travelers to various destinations, especially Johannesburg,” announcing the suspension of its flights to this country “as of the end of March 2024.”

This was hours before the start of a session at the International Court of Justice to issue a preliminary decision in a lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel on charges of committing “acts of genocide” in the Gaza Strip.
