Jewish Travel Organization Denies Alleged Assaults During Israel Evacuations
BROOKLYN (VINnews) – The CEO of Lalechet, a Jewish travel organization that helped evacuate many travelers from Israel through various channels, said reports alleging assaults on women during the trips were not substantiated.
“On Motzei Shabbos, a document circulated from certain seminaries alleging that women were assaulted by Egyptian security personnel. While we are not suggesting these messages were circulated with malicious intent, despite our efforts to obtain verification through multiple channels, no substantiated evidence has been provided. We wish to state clearly and without reservation: B”H, no passenger who traveled with Lalechet experienced harm, and the safety of every individual in our care remained our highest priority throughout,” CEO David Landau said in an official Press release Monday to VINnews.
Clients reportedly praised the organization for its professionalism and dedication, and Lalechet said it remains committed to providing safe and organized travel assistance.
