El Al, Israel's national airline, is being accused of profiteering during wartime by charging exorbitant prices for flights home for stranded reservists. The airline's lack of meaningful action in a time of national crisis is seen as a betrayal of the soldiers who are being asked to sacrifice everything for the security of the country. The Israeli government has also been criticized for failing to intervene and coordinate efforts to assist those stranded and desperate to return to Israel. Urgent action is called for to ensure that no reservist is stranded due to unaffordable airfare or bureaucratic red tape.
