Ex-Hostage Accuses Netanyahu of Blocking Oct. 7 Inquiry for Political Gain

Former Hamas hostage Gadi Moses accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of opposing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre for political reasons. Moses, who was held for 482 days, also criticized the security situation in his kibbutz and Netanyahu's role in societal divisions. No state commission has been formed nearly three years after the massacre, with opposition parties promising to establish one if elected. Moses called for a more empathetic national conversation about the trauma of October 7.

Israel Faces US Visa Waiver Risk After Flydubai Attack Security Failures

Israel Faces US Visa Waiver Risk After Flydubai Attack Security Failures

Israel faces potential loss of its U.S. visa waiver due to security lapses highlighted by a recent flydubai flight attack. A U.S. delegation will visit Israel to review compliance with program requirements. The review follows an incident where a copilot allegedly attempted to crash a flight with 180 people, mostly Israelis, on board. The Transportation Ministry has faced criticism for inadequate oversight of foreign aircrew and has reportedly rejected security assistance offers, though it is now requesting additional funding and proposing a new "aviation visa."
