Senator Cruz Slams WH for Allowing U.S. Airlines to Boycott Flights to Israel When 'Skies Are Safe'

(December 15, 2024 / Jewish Breaking News) For over 14 months, major American carriers have remained conspicuously absent from Israel’s skies despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah and military gains against Hamas.


One U.S. lawmaker who will soon take up the position of chairman on the Senate’s Transportation Committee believes it’s intentional.


“The Biden-Harris administration was lax in pursuing why some airlines will not fly to Israel,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tells Jewish Insider.


“Indeed, they may have been worse than lax, and the State Department may have become inappropriately entangled in deliberations over safety and subverted the Federal Aviation Administration.”


“There have been allegations about antisemitic discrimination by airlines and that calls by unions not to fly to Israel were motivated solely by pro-Hamas activists,” he said.


“These allegations are troubling, and, of course, American law prohibits American companies from participating in politically motivated boycotts of Israel,” noting that he “welcomes a full investigation of these issues.”
