Israelis’ summer overseas holiday plans are being changed this year.
With most foreign airlines surrendering to Houthi blackmail the majority of vacationers are revising their travel bookings. Instead of patronizing fickle foreign airlines which cancel flights at the first opportunity, travelers prefer to go with Israeli companies even though this is more expensive.
Instead of spending money in Western Europe, destinations closer to home such as Cyprus, Greece and Balkan countries are proving popular. Attractive packages abound to entice those keen to experience overseas adventures.
This was written before all air space was closed and airports shut down. Obviously no Israelis will be traveling overseas in the near future.
Whatever the challenges, Israelis can be guaranteed to overcome them.

SYRIAN GIRL’S LIFE SAVED
This piece of breaking news will never be reported by the mainstream media.
It will also not register in Canberra, Wellington, London, Paris or Oslo because politicians in those Capitals are too busy sanctioning Israelis for the “crime” of expressing uncomfortable facts.
A Syrian girl received life-saving treatment at Rambam and returned home, a spokesperson for Haifa’s Rambam Health Care Campus revealed Thursday morning.
The 12-year-old Syrian girl, who was evacuated last week from southern Syria, received urgent, life-saving care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Rambam’s Ruth Rappaport Children’s Hospital and returned home two days ago in good condition.
The girl was evacuated by the IDF, in coordination with the “Yitro – Jews for Druze” organization, which also funded the hospitalization costs.
