Israel set an election date for October, leading citizens living overseas to search for available flights back to the country. Airlines have reported higher booking activity in recent days as travelers attempt to secure seats on routes to Israel.
In past elections, Israelis abroad faced decisions about returning to vote. The most recent example occurred in 2022 during Israel's fifth round of elections in four years. An El Al aircraft was photographed on the tarmac at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, on March 23, 2026.
Demand for seats has risen as the election date approaches, according to reports on current booking patterns.
