"U.S. Launches Charter Flights to Repatriate Stranded Americans from Israel"

The Biden administration will arrange charter flights to transport Americans from Israel to Europe, starting Friday, due to limited availability of commercial flights. The government is still finalizing details on the number of flights and destinations. Other options, such as land and sea travel, are also being explored. The State Department stated that the initial charter flights will allow U.S. citizens to make their own onward travel arrangements, with additional transportation options to be provided in the coming days. Lawmakers have called for charter flights and potential military airlifts to evacuate Americans from Israel.
