Why evac Egypt? That seems overkill.
Also, I have to say Europeans (and yes Russians and Ukrainians on the flight are Europeans) seem to go on vacations even to war zones. I mean there is a war on you will find a European vacationing at a beach resort miles from the war zone.
I know they get a lot of vacation time in Europe and an urge to use the days but this is ridiculous.
The only part of the ME that is worth even going to, IMHO, is Israel, only because of its role in both faith and history.
