Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has called on the government to sell the “Wing of Zion” Boeing 767 VVIP jet just months before it is set to enter operational service.

The cost of modifying the jet has grown fifty percent from the original $115 million budget.
Lapid has been a critic of the purchase and the decision to sell off the plane has met with resistance from the defense ministry.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will decide on the fate of the aircraft later with input from President-elect Isaac Herzog.
