In the documentation that reached Israel Hayom, foreign tourists can be seen waiting in a never-ending line on the way to the passport control in Israel. According to the photo, and people who were there tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday), they tell of a very long wait in a line that stretched for tens of meters.
It is important to emphasize that this is not a queue for inspection of passports for Israelis.
Israeli passports go relatively quickly through the machines placed in the sleeves and besides the inspection, it should also be noted that the process of entering Israel, for Israelis, is usually very fast and efficient.
Of course, the queues in Netavg are not only on this side.
In recent weeks, those leaving Israel have been dealing with significant congestion during some hours of the day, due to a severe shortage of workers in a variety of positions in Israel.

Today, about 73 thousand passengers passed and will pass through the airport, about 38 thousand of them will take off from Israel.
The most sought after destinations today are: Turkey, Emirates, USA, Italy, France and England, in that order.
The Population Authority said in response: "Border controllers work around the clock, professionally and as much as is required. However, due to a lack of border controllers, there is sometimes a load at the questioning station."
