- The United States canceled the evacuation of refueling planes from Ben Gurion; Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev issued a temporary order prohibiting their landing at the airport.
- The Israeli Airports Authority warned that the tankers’ continued presence could force the cancellation of up to 50,000 tickets this month.
