Strike by workers at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv


Workers at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport went on strike to protest airport officials' failure to comply with contracts signed with them. Workers at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport stopped checking incoming flights to occupied Palestine on Thursday, according to the Ma'a Palestine news website, this strike caused many flights to be delayed and long lines formed pre-departure entry and exit gates and welcome gates.

According to this report, Ben Gurion Airport employees are not satisfied with their working conditions, because their wages have decreased since last year (2020). In early January this year, more than 130 high-tech companies announced they would stop working in what they called Benjamin Netanyahu's coup over changes to the justice system, including the reduction of powers of the Israeli regime's Supreme Court.

Since Netanyahu's cabinet took power late last December, demonstrations and protests against his cabinet's policies have continued.
