“On Motzei Shabbos, a document circulated from certain seminaries alleging that women were assaulted by Egyptian security personnel. While we are not suggesting these messages were circulated with malicious intent, despite our efforts to obtain verification through multiple channels, no substantiated evidence has been provided. We wish to state clearly and without reservation: B”H, no passenger who traveled with Lalechet experienced harm, and the safety of every individual in our care remained our highest priority throughout,” CEO David Landau said in an official Press release Monday to VINnews.
Lalechet said its operations over the past week included coordinated bus transport, guided border crossings, and oversight through flights from Sharm el-Sheikh to the United States via European hubs. Passengers were accompanied at every stage to ensure safety, organization, and clear communication.
Clients reportedly praised the organization for its professionalism and dedication, and Lalechet said it remains committed to providing safe and organized travel assistance.
Nobody will say it happened to my daughter. Use your seichel.
What sense does it make to have Jews travel to Egypt and Jordan or other Arab countries, to escape from Israel? Jews are at the mercy of security personnel in those countries, who have no love for Jews. For example, in Jordan, their security personnel removed all of the Kosher food from dozens of Yeshivah students who were trying to get home. They had to spend several days eating fruits.
Why would these girls have made this up? Did they not understand something that was going on? What would be their motive to besmirch anyone involved?
It was so obvious that it was made up by the yentas
Was obviously a cheap ELAL marketing scheme to smear theor competition. How sad..
The man in charge of this company who stands to lose tons of money says don’t believe silly girls who claim they were sexually assulted. I think we should listen to him. There is no reason to suspect a cover up.
