Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Likud to expel Pinhas Idan, chairman of the Israel Airports Authority workers’ committee, from party membership after Thursday’s disruption at Ben Gurion Airport. Likud said the directive followed what it described as a wildcat and illegal strike. The party said the action harmed Israeli citizens and damaged the economy. The official announcement did not provide a timetable or explain the internal procedure for completing Idan’s expulsion. The directive concerns Idan’s Likud membership rather than his position on the workers’ committee.
