Trump Backs Netanyahu Amidst Pressure Campaign

Trump Backs Netanyahu Amidst Pressure Campaign

U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu for Prime Minister of Israel, a first in U.S.-Israel relations. This support followed a lobbying campaign by Trump's advisors, despite opposition in Washington and Trump's previous reluctance to endorse specific candidates. The move comes after Trump's past endorsement of Viktor Orbán, who lost an election, and amid U.S. opposition to Netanyahu over the conflict with Iran.

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.
