Ben Gurion Airport Closure
I had been hoping for a quick Labor Court injunction putting an end to the massive Histadrut strike in Israel, but that hasn't happened. My flight was scheduled for 7:30 tonight and is canceled, and prospects of getting on another flight that would arrive before Yom Kippur appear very remote. I'll probably give it another few hours and then book a shorter trip somewhere in the U.S.
I almost booked the flight last night that ended circling over Israel before having to go to Budapest, so I guess things could be worse, but I'm obviously extremely disappointed about having my plans to spend Yom Kippur and part of succos in Israel ruined.
