UAE flights to Israel affected by strike action against Benjamin Netanyahu

 

Israel

Protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned judicial overhaul have affected a flight from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Tel Aviv, a city on Israel’s Mediterranean coast.

An Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv returned back due to unplanned industrial action at Ben Gurion International Airport, the main international airport of Israel.

Reportedly, the protests in Israel can affect tens of thousands of people because Israel’s Airports Authority announced the suspension of flights due to an unplanned industrial action.

An Etihad Airways representative reportedly told The National, “Etihad flight EY593 from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv on March 27 has returned to Abu Dhabi because of an unplanned industrial action.”

Etihad Airways flight EY593 from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv and EY594 from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi on Monday also got cancelled. Protests also blocked a main highway.

Thousands of Israelis took to the streets in recent weeks to protest against the government’s judicial reform plans. Israel’s largest trade union also called a strike over this issue. Israelis and opposition political leaders opposed a proposed overhaul of the country's legal system.

On Monday, the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog appealed to Prime Minister Netanyahu to immediately halt his controversial judicial overhaul reforms. His comments came after Netanyahu sacked Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for opposing his judicial reform.

The Israeli President reportedly said in a statement, "Our security, economy, society — all are under threat. The whole people of Israel are looking at you. I call on you to halt the legislative process immediately.”

Recently, Netanyahu agreed to delay the process for discussions on the planned judicial overhaul to next month. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that the legislation would be submitted to the Knesset for approval in the next session.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
