Ultra-Orthodox Draft Exemption Cap Proposed by Am Israel Party

Ultra-Orthodox Draft Exemption Cap Proposed by Am Israel Party

The Am Israel party, led by Ofer Winter, proposed a plan that would allow up to 25% of ultra-Orthodox draftees to be recognized as Torah scholars, contingent on IDF needs. The party aims to legislate this program, which includes tailored service frameworks and Defense Ministry oversight, before the next government is formed. Meanwhile, the Likud party is reportedly running a campaign to prevent Am Israel from passing the electoral threshold, focusing on party members like Yosef Haddad. Winter has vowed his party will not join a government without a law integrating the ultra-Orthodox into the military.

Blue Bird Airways Launches Cheaper Flights to Crete Amidst Storm Damage

Blue Bird Airways Launches Cheaper Flights to Crete Amidst Storm Damage

Blue Bird Airways has launched significantly cheaper flights to Crete from Israel, with one-way tickets starting at 65 euros, aiming for year-round travel. This comes as the popular Greek island is recovering from severe October storms that caused extensive flooding and damage, including in the Heraklion area. The airline's marketing director, Ilan Shalev, stated the move reflects a growing demand for non-seasonal travel. Despite the new low fares, the island's weather remains unstable, posing risks of further flooding.
