The only area that are considered problematic for any Israeli registered a/c are the southern departures. All 4X- a/c depart to the south towards the Red Sea and fly southbound at 290 / northbound at 310 along the FIR line. In this area, ETOPS is actually used for the section between Sudan and Saudi Arabia. It's an unofficial unwritten rule that is acceptable in the area where contact is maintained only with Jabuti and Addis. Once passed the area and headed eastbound beyond the horn of Africa, they climb to cruising alttitude.
That's what makes a direct flight of 4 1/2 hours from Tel Aviv to Bombay into 7. Gotta love it!
On the other hand, when you have a VP a/c here, it's much more simple. A quick stop in Amman + landing fees, and you're on your way.
With regards to the piloting here... didn't you know, the Israeli pilots have the biggest d!@ks in the world!
