No, but AC service is pretty poor. There is only water & cold portion of Hamasbia meals, no other drinks or snacks. Business Class doesn't offer KSML although Economy does. No pillows, only blankets and seat covering mattresses

3 days/week. Old news.

He brought up the idea several months ago, when he initially mentioned Greece, Cyprus, Australia etc.

If Canada is on the list that opens up the doors for anyone from Canada to come to Israel....

Was thinking the same about Greece. Anyone who has access to Greece can travel freely across Europe

Canada is one of the safest countries in the world now.
If they allow anybody coming from Canada, that will pretty much open the door for everybody as Canada doesn't have limits on transits

That's assuming that the Israelis won't exclude passengers merely transiting via Canada.

Elal pulled all their flights until October. Including ny/lax/miami.

As I said

Correct me if i'm wrong but it does sound like the corona virus cabinet approved in principle not requiring quarantine from ppl arriving from green countries ('green' TBD  ).

There were lots of talks until now, but sounds like approval in principle?

Indeed. Now we just need them to classify NY as green and/or accept antibodies test + negative corona test as well.
