Seven Remain in Custody After Diplomat, Reporter Assault Allegations; Lawyers to Appeal

Seven individuals remain in custody following their arrest in connection with the alleged assault of a French diplomat and an American reporter. Lawyers for the suspects are appealing the extended detention, arguing the arrests are baseless and lack sufficient evidence. The court extended the detention of the seven by two days, while three others were released to house arrest. The defense claims the diplomat was not injured and did not file a complaint, and that there is no evidence linking the detainees to the reporter's alleged assault.

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.
