Have you been there? I have, 3 times, Tel Aviv/Petah Tikva for work. It's a strange place, I don't mean strange in a bad way, but somewhat alien compared to the US. The daily dynamic was amazing, food, shopping, the city, the sea, but then getting on a commuter train involved going through a metal detector. My coworker carried a sidearm because he commuted from Jerusalem and back, and things in Jerusalem were a bit shaky at the time, circa 2020. Ladies in camo with rifles in the shopping malls. It was really something else, like a different timeline. I'd love to go back, but being interrogated by El Al and then again at Ben Gurion is an acquired taste.
