Pinchas Idan, chairman of the Israel Airports Authority workers' union, rejected claims of responsibility for the recent shutdown at Ben-Gurion Airport during an interview on Kan News. This follows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's petition to the Likud's Supreme Court to terminate Idan's party membership, alleging he led a "political and illegal shutdown." Idan stated, "The airport manager is the one who closed Ben-Gurion Airport," and attributed the incident to baggage handlers working excessive hours. The Finance Ministry estimated the economic damage at NIS 25 million to NIS 30 million. Idan also plans legal action regarding baggage handlers' working hours, emphasizing safety concerns for workers.
