Is this actually a global Israeli boycott?
It’s more like not wanting another “Ukraine” ...
Occam’s Razor: They don’t want their planes flying in a zone where missiles are flying all over the place...
“Is this actually a global Israeli boycott?”
My exact first thought also...but in reality, it is a continuation of the BDS boycott the Obama adm and Kerry instigated against Israel months ago. No doubt Kerry had a hand in this little maneuver also.
I appreciate the liability argument, but this ban is meant to punish Israel. Israel will be undeterred in what it needs to do to establish safety for its citizens.
No. This is a very lucrative route. I flew it a month ago on Delta and the planes were totally full going and coming. This is an excess of caution but understandable considering what happened last week.
If the U.S. administration was really worried about Tel Aviv, they would just advise diverting to Haifa.
This ban is entirely political, a slap to Israel for defending itself and a boost to Hamas terrorism.
No. These are companies worried about their planes being hit by missiles.
