Rep. Ritchie Torres expressed concern over the prolonged suspension of flights to Israel by U.S. airlines, stating it amounts to a de facto boycott against the nation.
Torres criticized the American airline industry's unilateral decision to suspend flights to Israel, arguing it's unjust for El Al to operate while others refuse.
He highlighted the lack of competition resulting from these suspensions, stating that customers face higher prices and limited availability for travel to Israel.
Torres pointed out the inconsistency in safety assessments, questioning why U.S. airlines find it unsafe to fly to Israel while foreign airlines operate without incident.
