Tour operator TUI Belgium will not send travelers to Tel Aviv until October 21. Tel Aviv is the only destination it serves in Israel. Currently, the organizer does not have any Belgian tourists there. “We are monitoring the situation closely,” says its spokesperson, Sarah Saucin.
The decision to cancel its flights was taken on Saturday morning during a crisis meeting organized by the Belgian and Dutch branches of TUI following a surprise Hamas attack on Hebrew territory inflamed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
