🇺🇸 U.S. VOICES FRUSTRATION AFTER ISRAEL HALTS ADDITIONAL U.S. TANKER LANDINGS AT BEN GURION
The U.S. reportedly expressed frustration after Israel temporarily blocked additional American aerial refueling tankers from landing at Ben Gurion Airport.
Washington says the aircraft are critical to regional operations and deterrence against Iran, while Israel says the move is meant to reduce disruptions to civilian air traffic and suggests using military airfields instead. Israeli officials insist there is “no crisis” between the allies, and PM Netanyahu has reportedly discussed the issue with U.S. officials.
| Don’t be rude. You’re getting refueled close to the battlefield — don’t demand that Israel also give up her own national airport — accept the slightly less convenient digs at her military airports for most of your airplanes. |
