Foreign airlines have warned they are likely to continue to suspend flights to Israel unless the current compensation regulation for canceled flights is amended and adapted to ease the costs and financial risk of disruptions and cancellations, after 13 months of war.
In a joint request, a group of 15 major foreign carriers is seeking to make temporary amendments to the 2012 Aviation Services Law in a position paper submitted to the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee this week. The group is understood to include airlines such as British Airways, Delta Air Lines, and low-cost carriers Wizz Air and easyjet.
“The current regulations in the Aviation Services Law are formulated for disruptions during normal times and are not adequate for extended periods of emergency such as the current ...
The families of the American hostages in Gaza today released a statement on the outcome of the 2024 election, nearly 400 days after Hamas terrorists took hundreds captive, including seven American hostages who remain in captivity.
“For 397 days, Americans– Omer, Edan, Judi, Gad, Keith, Sagui and Itay– have suffered at the hands of Hamas terrorists in Gaza. As the United States prepares for a Presidential transition, we implore President-elect Trump and his transition team to work together with President Biden and his Administration officials to secure the immediate release of the hostages and end this nightmare for the hostage families, Israel, and the civilians of Gaza," the families stated.
"This is an urgent, catastrophic humanitarian crisis, not a partisan issue; ou...
In a TV address on Wednesday afternoon, new Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said a diplomatic settlement to the terror group’s ongoing conflict was still possible, but only once Israel stops its military campaign in Lebanon.
In his second televised speech since taking the helm of the group following the Israeli assassination of longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah in September, Qassem said the war will only end after Israel stops its “aggression” against Lebanon, and only at that point will Hezbollah agree to indirect negotiations, under the mediation of its ally Nabih Berri, president of the Lebanese parliament.
“I will tell you very clearly, our conviction is that only one thing can stop this war of aggression, and that is the battlefield,” said Qassem ...
The body of a foreign worker was found near Masarik in northern Israel this evening. It is currently believed that he was killed by shrapnel from a Hezbollah rocket or UAV attack.

Lee Smith, journalist and author of three books, including “Disappearing the President,” spoke with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, as part of the Arutz Sheva and Israel365 US Election Coverage of Donald Trump’s victory, on the situation in the US leading up the 2024 US elections, the US and Israel, and his optimism for the future.
Lee Smith was not surprised by the outcome of the US elections and says, “I did expect the outcome. Lots of people did. What we were concerned about was fraud, frankly in different polling places, especially across the Battleground States, but it appears that both the RNC, the Trump campaign, as well as state Republican parties, did a terrific job. So they were out there, fighting all the time, they were taking cases to court, they were ...
Democrats are growing increasingly concerned that they will narrowly lose the House of Representatives after Republican victories in the Senate and White House.
The balance of power in the House is expected to run razor-thin no matter who wins, but sources who spoke with Fox News Digital are worried that the Democrats' path is narrowing.
"We're almost certainly going to lose the House by a narrow margin," a senior House Democratic aide told Fox News Digital. "We got our a--es kicked."
The House aide found optimism, however, in Republicans' comparatively decisive victories in the upper chamber and presidential race.
"If you told me [President-elect Trump] won the popular vote, dominated the electoral college, and they could end up with 56 seats in the ...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in President-elect Trump's first administration, is urging prosecutors at both the state and federal levels to drop the pending legal cases against Trump before he takes office again.
Barr told Fox News Digital that the American electorate was aware of all the allegations against Trump when re-electing him, and he believes it’s in the country's best interest for prosecutors to respect the voters' decision.
"The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," Barr said. "They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country, and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should res...
The first rule of exit polls is to be careful about interpreting early exit polls, which aren’t always accurate.
The second rule is that, for now at least, they represent the best information we have about the question occupying Jews of all political persuasions: How many Jews voted for Donald Trump? And how many voted for Kamala Harris?
In recent decades, between 20 percent and 30% of American Jews have supported Republicans in national elections. The GOP hit a high-water mark in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won some 40% of Jewish votes, but the more typical split makes Jews among the most reliably Democratic demographics in the United States.
But this year, with some Jews feeling alienated from the left and others all-in on the right due to Israel, some speculated that Trump could po...
Optimism and hookahs were bubbling in concert on Tuesday night at the Arab Americans for Trump election watch party in Dearborn, Michigan, as the major TV networks called one state after another for the former and soon-to-be future US president.
It was a scene that was virtually unimaginable just four years ago, when Joe Biden won nearly 90 percent of the vote in the southern part of Dearborn, where a similarly overwhelming percentage of residents are Arab and Muslim.
But riding the community’s utter fury over the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of Israel’s war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, Donald Trump managed to win a plurality of the vote in Dearborn — 47 percent to 28% for Vice President Kamala Harris, who only beat Green Party candidate Jill ...

Baltimore City residents had a few major charter amendments up for vote.

Baltimore, MD - Nov. 6, 2024 - With Pennsylvania officially called for Donald J. Trump, Kamala Harris now faces no path to victory. Trump’s win in this pivotal swing state has sealed his return to the presidency, marking him as the 47th President of the United States
Baltimore, MD – Nov. 5, 2024 – (BJL) Baltimore City voters have decided against Question H, a proposal to increase the number of City Council members. With the measure's failure, the City Council will maintain its current structure of 15 members.
Question H was put forth as a way to potentially increase representation across Baltimore's neighborhoods. However, voters opted to keep the council’s size unchanged, reflecting either satisfaction with the current structure or concerns about the costs and effectiveness of adding more council members.
The City Council will continue its operations with its existing 15-member framework, as it has for years.
The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Republicans will take control of the Senate.
The party will hold at least 51 seats, enough for an outright majority.
The tipping point seat is Nebraska, where Fox News projects that Republican incumbent Senator Deb Fischer will defeat independent challenger Dan Osborn.
It’s not yet clear who will serve as the next Senate majority leader.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who is the longest serving Senate leader in history, announced earlier this year that he would step down
