McDonalds may be kosher - but 1: it has a very limited menu for some reason and 2: it is inedible and a health hazzard.
Did not see any kosher bakery/cafe airside in T1....and I went to every single concessionary. With the exception of McDonalds, everything is open on Shabbat which by definition means no kosher certification and thus effectively not kosher. The IAA ought to be held accountable, but alas nobody cares. Quite surprising that El Al, with its supposed sensitivities on these matters, doesn't do a little more on this.
