Politicians expressed outrage Saturday and demanded scrutiny of the screening process for Israelis seeking to travel into the country, after a television report claimed the vast majority of Israelis being approved to enter the country during a general border closure were ultra-Orthodox, while many secular people were being denied.
Opposition politicians lashed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the report, accusing him of allowing only potential right-wing voters to arrive in the country ahead of the March 23 elections.
But at the same time, some in the media cast doubts over the veracity of the Channel 12 report on the committee that okays individuals to fly on a small number of available flights, while right-wing and Haredi politicians strongly denied there was any truth to it.
The heads of the
Chul Mehudar group
, a WhatsApp group for ultra-Orthodox professionals in the travel industry, released a statement in response to a report published Monday morning by the leftwing Hebrew-language
Haaretz news outlet, which claimed “ultra Orthodox” Jews are being given preference in booking rescue flights by the Israeli Exceptions Committee.
Haaretz furthermore claimed in its report the preferential treatment “continues even after landing in Israel,” insisting that most “ultra Orthodox” Jews are not required to travel from the airport to “corona hotels” for the mandatory 10 to 14-day quarantine, “because very many of the ultra-Orthodox are equipped with such and such permits… the ultra-Orthodox public has developed a well-oiled system of obtaining such permits and exemptions, for a fee of course, and with the help of contacts with political factors.”
