Dozens of Palestinians departed for Cyprus from southern Israel's Ramon Airport on Monday after Israel launched a pilot program to enable Palestinians from the occupied West Bank to fly overseas.
"Palestinians were aboard an international flight from Ramon Airport to Larnaca for the first time," the office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Israel's military liaison to the Palestinians, confirmed in a statement.
"Staff work is still underway" to allow more flights by Palestinians via Ramon Airport, COGAT said.
The Hebrew-language Ynet news site reported that buses organized by Israeli authorities brought about 40 Palestinian passengers from the West
