The United States has canceled the evacuation of aircraft from Ben Gurion Airport, according to Israeli media reports. The decision comes amid the ongoing escalation between the US and Iran, following a period of heightened tensions that included reported preparations for US strikes on Iran and subsequent cancellation of those strikes. The evacuation cancellation may signal a shift in the US assessment of the threat level to the airport, which had been closed earlier amid military activity related to the Iran-Israel escalation, as The Zioneer previously reported.
