Bereaved Parents Sue Former PM Bennett for Defamation

Herzl and Meirav Hajaj, parents of a terror victim, are suing former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for NIS 200,000 in a defamation lawsuit. They claim Bennett falsely implied they were paid political activists disrupting his speeches. Bennett stated in an interview that the Likud party hired paid individuals to disrupt him, which the Hajajs believe referred to their protest. Bennett's representatives deny the allegations, stating his comments were aimed at Likud activists, not bereaved families.

Strait of Hormuz Blockade Hits Dubai Economy, UAE Seeks Alternative Solutions

Dubai's economy contracted by 2.3% in the first half of 2026 due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, significantly impacting its vital trade sector. In response, the UAE is developing alternative port infrastructure in Fujairah, located outside the strait. President Mohammed bin Zayed is also strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia amid regional instability. Experts suggest these moves are strategic responses to economic and security challenges, though the Strait of Hormuz's importance is unlikely to be fully replaced.

Emirates Halts Ticket Sales for Israelis Until Spring 2027

Emirates Halts Ticket Sales for Israelis Until Spring 2027

Emirates has suspended ticket sales for Israeli customers on its website, preventing travel with layovers in Dubai until its subsidiary FlyDubai is cleared to fly to Israel. FlyDubai's flights are not expected to begin before late November, and the restriction by Emirates could last until spring 2027. This change forces Israelis to seek alternative routes for travel to the Far East and Japan, as Dubai was a key transit point.
