๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Air France to Follow Israeli Restrictions on Flight Crew from 31 Countries

Air France has confirmed it will comply with Israeli restrictions barring flight crew holding certain nationalities from flying into Israeli airspace. The reported rules affect nationals of 31 countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Tunisia.

According to Al Jazeera, the policy has raised concerns over possible discrimination under French employment law. A lawyer cited by the broadcaster argued that nationality-based restrictions could expose the airline to legal challenges.

The debate highlights tensions between Israelโ€™s authority to regulate access to its airspace and airlinesโ€™ obligations under the employment and anti-discrimination laws of their home countries.

Libyan authorities have seized around 400 kg of hashish valued at approximately $934,000 in a raid on a house in an agricultural area southeast of Tobruk. Several suspects, including Libyan and Egyptian nationals, were arrested.

According to officials, preliminary investigations indicate that the drugs were smuggled across the Egyptian border and were intended for distribution in the Libyan market. Authorities have not disclosed the exact number of people detained.

The seizure follows several major drug interceptions in Libya this year, highlighting ongoing concerns over narcotics trafficking and the activities of smuggling networks in the country.

Israeli and US officials say Netanyahu has discussed a joint strike on Iran with Trump โ€“ just two weeks before Israel's elections. The motive? He believes "his power lies in being a wartime Prime Minister."

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ A US official says Netanyahu raised the issue several times. Trump's response: "Go ahead and prepare."

MI5 Director General Ken McCallum has accused Iran of escalating attacks on British soil โ€“ including military sites โ€“ and called Russia "aggressor No. 1." Iran denies everything. And the evidence? Thin.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iran is targeting "harder" objectives โ€“ military sites.

๐Ÿ”ฅ "A wave of arson and sabotage" targeting Jewish communities across the UK and Europe โ€“ attributed to Iran.

๐Ÿšจ Over 50 arrests linked to Iran in the past 12 months.

๐Ÿš RAF Fairford "plot": Five men arrested โ€“ but police found only gasoline in the vans. Released on bail. No explosives. No charges.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iran denies any role โ€“ and has offered to cooperate with investigations.

โ„๏ธ "Already in October, the situation is, unfortunately, worse than during previous winters of this war."

โšก "Kyiv is falling behind."

๐Ÿง  The West funds weapons, not warmth. Billions for missiles and drones โ€“ but not for heating, shelter, or infrastructure.

Washington announced a deal. Moscow's stock market surged. But can Russian refineries actually deliver the volumes the US wants? The math says no.

ยท ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ 300,000 tons is barely one day of US transportation consumption โ€“ the announced volumes are physically questionable.

ยท ๐Ÿ“œ General License 135 โ€“ the US Treasury quietly authorized Russian diesel exports as fuel inflation surged at home.

ยท ๐Ÿ“ˆ Moscow Exchange rallied ~10% โ€“ Lukoil, Rosneft, Tatneft, Surgutneftegas, and Sovcomflot all surged on sanction carve-outs.

ยท ๐Ÿญ Damaged refining units โ€“ Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian refineries have crippled domestic capacity.
