Israel: Protest planned at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport from 17:30 July 3
Protest planned at Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv, Israel, 17:30 July 3; heavy security, localized disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to protest at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) Terminal 3 from 17:30 July 3. Police have stated the rally will only be permitted outside TLV's Terminal 1; it remains unclear if participants will adhere to police orders. Additionally, organizers have called for a vehicular go-slow protest along key thoroughfares around TLV. Government officials have announced increased security measures to minimize traffic disruptions at the airport. The demonstration is in opposition to the government's plans to overhaul the country's judiciary.
Unless averted, the protest will likely disrupt airport operations and flight schedules at TLV, including possible delays and cancelations, and roads near the airport. Long queues are likely for passenger processing procedures. Lingering disruptions are likely following the conclusion of the protest as the airport deals with passenger backlogs.
Advice
Avoid all protests. Reconfirm all flights at TLV. Prepare for delays near and at the airport on July 3.
