That is Minister Uri Ariel and his wife on a return trip from Turkey, sitting in Economy Class on the airplane. Mrs. Ariel paid for her own ticket, as her trip accompanying Uri was private and personal, and Uri chose to sit in Economy Class instead of having the government pay $5000 for his ticket in Business Class or First Class. From personal knowledge, Ariel is also on the tall side, so I am sure he was a bit cramped in there. When other passengers realized who he is, they were surprised and impressed that he was sitting in Economy, unlike the other Ministers who travel regularly to Turkey.
