Israeli Airlines Vet Foreign Pilots Amid Security Concerns

Israeli Airlines Vet Foreign Pilots Amid Security Concerns

Israeli airlines are now independently vetting foreign pilots and flight crews on leased aircraft due to security concerns following an attempted terror attack on a Flydubai flight. This proactive measure involves cybersecurity firms checking the backgrounds and social media of thousands of foreign personnel. The move comes after revelations of significant gaps in Israel's aviation security system, with agencies previously passing responsibility for vetting. Flydubai's request to resume its Dubai-Tel Aviv route has been denied by the Minister of Transport.

Israel Considers US-Style Tax Break to Combat Brain Drain

Israel Considers US-Style Tax Break to Combat Brain Drain

Israel's Ministry of Finance is exploring a U.S.-style tax exemption for startup shares to prevent brain drain, potentially offering full capital gains tax relief up to $15 million after five years. This move comes amid internal discussions on employee stock option taxation and aims to retain entrepreneurs and companies. The proposed exemption mirrors the U.S. QSBS model, which is tiered based on holding periods and capped at ten times the investment. The ministry hopes this will bolster the Israeli high-tech sector against foreign tax advantages and local challenges.
