Reservists Chief Urges Political Alliance Against Non-Zionist Coalitions

Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the Reservists-Economic Party, urged Amcha Yisrael chairman Ofer Winter on Thursday to form a political alliance. They would pledge to join only a Zionist government excluding haredi and Arab parties, creating a "blocking bloc." Hendel cited the war and the need for more soldiers, arguing that haredi parties encourage draft evasion and Arab parties do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. He believes universal conscription is impossible with haredi parties in government.

Rosenberg Rejects Offers to Sell Stake in El Al Amid Soaring Valuation

Kenny Rosenberg's investment in El Al, made in 2020 when the airline was near collapse, has become highly successful, with his family's stake now valued at $1.5 billion, a 6.6-fold return. Rosenberg has rejected offers to sell his shares, believing the company's potential is not fully realized. The airline has also seen significant financial and operational improvements, but faces increased competition as foreign carriers return, and consumers pay high ticket prices partly subsidized by state security funding.

Israel's Arkia Loses Dubai Flight Permits Amidst Flydubai Suspension

Israeli airlines, including Arkia, El Al, and Israir, have lost their permits to fly from Dubai after the UAE revoked authorization. Arkia CEO Oz Berlowitz believes this is a retaliatory measure because Flydubai is still barred from flying to Israel. The cancellations have stranded hundreds of passengers, and Arkia is offering refunds and alternative flights while seeking to restore its own permits. The airline also confirmed charging baggage fees, taking responsibility for luggage transport at a loss.
