Fuel contamination in Israel —
Emergency committee formed to investigate fuel contamination
Israel Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz formed an emergency inspection committee on Thursday, led by his head of office Dan Harel, to look into the fuel contamination that has halted all flights departing Ben-Gurion Airport.
In addition to the formation of the committee, jet-fuel is currently being transferred from Israeli emergency gas tanks to the airport in Lod in a bid to resume outgoing flights.
