Former Minister and Likud Senior Gideon Saar participated in the pension conference of the Association of Insurance Agents in Eilat.
Saar promised that he would act immediately against the closing Sde Dov airport in Tel Aviv and said, "I support the struggle of Eilat and its residents against the closure of Sde Dov this coming July. There are no alternative and available solutions that make it possible to close such a central transportation infrastructure.
'' Eilat will continue to thrive and become the southern economic gateway to Israel but we must leave the airport running. Immediately after my election, I intend to act to postpone the decision to close the airfield, "Saar promised.
