Minister of Energy Yuval Steinitz has advocated for re-imposition of closure if flying is to resume once again.

"My position is to impose a closure," Steinitz said in a 103 FM radio broadcast.

"We should have imposed a closure of 10 days and we should have done this a month ago or more because it is important to lower the morbidity data immediately and dramatically - a sharp step aimed at eventually opening the skies to flights," Steinitz added.
