Yes, it was all politics. Israel was going to open another airport to international flights and their excuse dried up.
I must admit when they first halted flights I thought it was the right decision(Especially after a rocket hit a house within 1 mile of the airport) but after hearing stories about this was all Obama’s way to boycott Israel and put pressure on them to stop bombing Hamas, it made sense..NOTHING Obama does is for the good of the country, there is always some sinister motive behind it..Considering that the US doesn’t halt flights to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, or even Ukraine their whole rational made no sense
