Iiyure ezinde zokulinda ekuweleni kweTaba ukusuka e-Eilat ukuya kwiSinayi Peninsula ziye zaba sisithethe seholide yakwaSirayeli kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Kodwa inye into eyahlukileyo kulo nyaka: Ukunqumla umhlaba akuseyokuphela kwendlela yokungena eSinayi, indawo enqwenelekayo yokuphumla kwabaninzi.

Ngexesha leholide yePasika yalo nyaka, abakhenkethi abamalunga nama-70,000 kulindeleke ukuba bawele kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweveki, ngoko ayimangalisi into yokuba umgca wokuya emdeni uthatha ikhilomitha. Ngexesha lokuqala, kukho iinqwelomoya ezisuka ngqo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iBen-Gurion ukuya kwidolophu yase-Egypt e-Sharm el-Sheikh eSouth Sinai. Ukuthatha imizuzu eyi-50 kuphela, iinqwelomoya, eziqhutywa yi-El Al subsidiary Sun d'Or, zibonelela ngendlela ekhawulezayo kumaSirayeli afuna iihotele ezishibhile ngombono woLwandle Olubomvu.

U-Omer Razon, obekwinqwelo moya yokuqala ngeCawa, uxelele I-Media Line: “Inqwelomoya ilibazisekile, kodwa bekusafuneka. Ngekhe siye eSharm ngeTaba, kugcwele kakhulu. Size kwiholide emfutshane apha; asizange sifune ukuchitha ixesha elininzi endleleni.”

“Ngoku sineentsuku ezimbalwa zokonwabela iihotele ezikumgangatho ophezulu kwaye siye kuhambo ngexabiso eliphantsi.

UShahar Gofer, isazi se-Egypt kwa-Israeli kunye nomkhokeli wabakhenkethi, uthe: “Ngokuqinisekileyo inokutshintsha ubume bokhenketho lwase-Israel. eSinayi, yaye mhlawumbi naseYiputa ngokubanzi, ukusa kumlinganiselo othile. Iinqwelomoya eziya eSharm ziya kwenza iSinayi ifikeleleke ngakumbi kumaSirayeli.

“Siza kubona abantu abaninzi nangakumbi besiza kwiindawo ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide kwizixeko eziselunxwemeni ezifana neSharm neDahab, kwaye mhlawumbi nabakhenkethi abaninzi kwiintaba eziphakamileyo kufutshane neMonastery yaseSaint Catherine,” wongeze watsho. “Ndiyathemba ukuba ayizukuyitshintsha imeko yoxolo yala mmandla. Yahlukile ngaloo ndlela.”

Ngokuphathelele kwi-Egypt yonke, uGofer uyathandabuza ukuba iinqwelomoya eziya eSharm el-Sheikh ziya kutshintsha umdlalo.

“Abakhenkethi bakwaSirayeli basafuna i-visa ukuze badlule eSharm. Andiqinisekanga ukuba bangaphi abantu abaza kwenza umzamo, kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba abanye baya kuwenza. I-Egypt inokuninzi enokukunika amaSirayeli, ukusuka kwimbali nakwizinto zakudala, nakwilifa lamaJuda,” utshilo.

IFlying Tel Aviv-Sharm el-Sheikh uhambo lokuya nokubuya luxabisa phakathi kwe-$300 kunye ne-$500.

UGal Gershon, i-CEO ye-Sun d'Or, uthe iinqwelomoya zibhukishwe ngokupheleleyo ngexesha IPasika, kwaye inkampani inethemba lokunyusa amaxesha abo.

Ukungena eSinayi ngomoya endaweni yomhlaba kuvumela iindwendwe ukuba zikuphephe ukulinda okudinayo eTaba.

“Sihleli emgceni isithuba esingaphezu kweeyure ezintandathu ngoku, kodwa asikagqibi. Kokokuqala ngqa ukuba seSinayi, kwaye ukuba bendisazi ukuba kuya kubanje, ngendingazange ndize,” watsho uTobi Siegel, umSirayeli owayesendleleni eya kwelasingasiqithi. “Bendicinga ukuba ukunqumla emhlabeni kuya kuba nexabiso eliphantsi, kodwa andisaqinisekanga kangako. Emva kokwenza oku, ndiyazisola ngokungahambi ngenqwelomoya.”
