On the other hand
Many foreign airlines are still refusing to fly to Israel and this is creating a bonanza for Israeli companies.
In addition to EL AL, Israir and Arkia there is now a new “kid on the bloc” namely Haifa Air. Operating out of Haifa’s revamped and upgraded international airport, this company offers travellers competitively priced flights to Eilat, Cyprus and Athens, Greece.
All flights are operated using the company’s three new ATR 72-600 aircraft, the youngest aircraft fleet in Israel.

WINNING COMBINATION
Bracha “Beatie” Deutsch is an Orthodox Israeli marathon runner. She has won the Tiberias Marathon and the Jerusalem Marathon, as well as the Israeli half-marathon and marathon national championships.
As a mother of five young children, she has learned to apply her training to the real marathon of life. Beatie took up running just four years ago and recently went pro with the goal of qualifying for Tokyo 2020 and representing Israel in the Olympics. More than anything else, her journey has empowered her to dream big and keep pushing, a message Beatie is passionate about sharing with other women.
Here is a photo of her with her training partner, an Arab Israeli.
As she commented: “tell me about that apartheid again?”
