UK low cost carrier easyJet has canceled all Israel flights until the summer and is not expected to return to Tel Aviv until at least October.
At present foreign airlines cannot land at Ben Gurion airport because of a NOTAM from the Israel Civil Aviation Authority, which severely restricts activity in Israel airspace. At the same time there are also instructions from the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) warning against flying in the region.
flyDubai is especially impacted by security developments in the Gulf. Dubai airport has recently faced threats from Iran and has been attacked and hit by suicide drones. The Ministry of Transport had given flyDubai exceptional permission to land in Israel and operate rescue flights to repatriate Israelis but the UAE carrier chose not to resume its flights anyway.
