Over two weeks later, the single mom remains in the Emirates, away from her teenage twin sons, unable to fly back to Israel due to the government’s decision to ban international passenger flights into the country. “I’m really upset how the government has handled this,” said Turin “They left their citizens stranded all over the world.” Turin is one of what appear to be hundreds of Israelis scattered to the four corners of the world who have found themselves unable to return home since Israel’s main international airports shut down on January 25, aiming to prevent the entry of new coronavirus variants that have contributed to the latest spike in case numbers.
