Allow me to rain on the Prawer parade
So the Israeli government is scrapping the Prawer Bill. Please allow me to rain on the parade.

Israeli airlines strike over ‘Open Skies’ agreement, but what’s the solution?
Israeli airlines stopped flying this morning in an open-ended strike opposing the country’s Open Skies agreement with the EU. The issue is complicated and there are no easy ways to resolve it.
