Brussels Airlines Workers Threaten Strike Over Israel Flights

Brussels Airlines pilots and cabin crew have announced a potential strike if the airline continues to operate flights to Israel and Jerusalem. The union says the routes are unsafe, citing a recent advisory from Belgium’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that recommends against all non‑essential travel to Israel and Jerusalem. The workers argue that the advisory reflects security concerns that make the flights ethically problematic. Brussels Airlines has not yet confirmed whether it will suspend the routes or negotiate with the union. The potential strike could disrupt scheduled services and affect passengers planning travel to the region.
