    Delta has reportedly canceled its flights until August 2, while British Airways has done the same. United Airlines has canceled its flights until August 6.

    These cancellations have left tens of thousands of Israelis stranded in the United States.

    The decisions by United and Delta, the second- and third-largest airlines globally, are expected to lead to similar actions by other airlines, as suggested by some reports.

    Israel is in a war zone. Outside of the National Carrier I really do not see why any other carrier would risk the safety of their Crew, Passengers or eguipment entering the area.
