Basically a very good decision. Modernization and expansion of Israel’s main airport, Ben Gurion, as well as other airports, are urgently needed.
The budget is intended for upgrading and expanding Israel’s aviation infrastructure, mainly Ben Gurion Airport, but also includes significant investments in Ramon Airport and Haifa Airport, as well as for developing land border crossings as a bridge to peace.
Minister of Transportation and Road Safety Brigadier General (res.) Miri Regev: “This is a significant budget that will enable the development and upgrading of Israel’s air gateways so that they will be among the first airports in the world, as well as land crossings that will serve as a bridge to safe peace.“

Today the Ministerial Committee also decided to establish a brand new airport in the Negev. The proposed bill from MK Almog Cohen got approval and full backing from Prime Minister Netanyahu. In Nevatim the airport for the Negev will be built. MK Cohen said on X: “This dramatic decision will reshape the State of Israel for years to come and bring historical justice to the residents of the Negev!“
As important as the airports are, if there is no road connection from there, every effort is pointless. The road network in Israel is basically just connected potholes. That has to change. The rail connection also needs a thorough modernization. The current connecting station at Ben Gurion Airport is simply desolate and a scandal.
One can only hope that budgets will soon be available for this. Because good roads mean fewer traffic deaths, less wear and tear and less fuel consumption.
