June 17, 2025 Follow-Up Travel Update - Ceasefire Announced
Shalom, dear friends and travel partners,
We are pleased to share this follow-up update from Sar-El Tours & Conferences with wonderful news.
🔹Ceasefire Declared
The war between Israel and Iran is over. Yesterday at 7 AM, it was announced by President Donald Trump that there is a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. So far, this ceasefire has been steady and holding strong.
🔹Israel Returns to Normal
Since this morning, Israel is fully back to normal. All schools, businesses, and public transportation are operating at 100% capacity. The airport has reopened for international flights.
🔹Travel Operations Resume
Today, it is expected that 12,000 passengers will pass through the airport. This number is expected to rise in the coming days as foreign airlines are returning. Seven airlines have already submitted requests yesterday to fly back to Israel, including Fly Dubai, Etihad, Ethiopian Airlines, and others. More are expected to do so in the coming days.
We are ready to welcome groups coming into Israel, both from the borders and from the airport. Our office is open again, and there is a sense of hope for the days ahead.
🔹Remembrance and Gratitude
Above all, we give thanks to God. We remember all the people who paid the highest price in this conflict. We also pray for the conflict in Gaza to end soon with lasting stability and a peaceful outcome. We pray for the families of soldiers who lost their lives.
We thank the IDF and also the United States of America for standing with Israel and for eliminating the threat from Iran.
🔹Looking Forward
We expect and pray this will lead to broader peace in the Middle East, with more countries joining the Abraham Accords.
Please also join us in prayer for the hostages to be released soon and for all conflicts to end.
🔹Ready to Serve You
Contact us for any questions. We are here for you, and we look forward to hosting your groups in Israel once again.
With gratitude and hope for lasting peace,
