You should read the comments for the linked article. Though it seems to be an Isreali site.
oof, those are bad. I usually don't read the comments of news sites. They are implying France may hide weapons in the aid packages. This is ridiculous.
Three cheers for Jordan and France!!! To the rest of the world: Wake tf up and get on the moral right side of history
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. What a slam dunk.
Good for Jordan and France.
And Israel is just going to let these overflights into their airspace?
I really do wish a professional journalist would have answered this very obvious and direct follow-up question any reasonable reader would have.....
Probably the same thing they did last time Jordan airdropped supplies: be honest and coordinate.
Notably, Reuters got an official "no comment" from Israel for this round of aid. Which probably means yes, but we don't want to have it on record.
See, this is the kind of context I'm looking for.
I highly doubt that any country would fly into combat airspace without coordination. That sounds a recipe for a massive international incident if a plane gets shot down.
What are they going to do?
Employ military force to ensure the sovereignty of their airspace.
The playbook's pretty standard:
If people are using commercial overflight allowances to drop cargo into a war zone one of the combatants could simply deny commercial overflight.
Then fighter escorts to remove the aircraft from the contested airspace
Then warning shots
Then downing aircraft.
so I would love for the journalist to tell me what the current situation is, what Israel's response to this is, and what the ongoing future air situation is anticipated to be
