| Jewish Passengers Sue American Airlines for Being Denied Entry Due to Wearing Magen David Necklace |
 |
|
Two Jewish women are suing American Airlines, accusing the carrier of not allowing them on a plane due to their Jewish identity, according to a Sunday Channel 12 report . Miriam Einhorn and Rivka Gloch allege they were denied boarding on a flight from Miami International Airport because one of them was visibly wearing a Star of David necklace, the news outlet reported. The incident took place on the morning of November 18, 2024. Miriam and Rivka arrived at Miami International Airport for a scheduled flight to New York. After clearing standard security checks, the women proceeded to the boarding gate and joined the line of passengers. When their turn came, however, they were allegedly informed that they would not be allowed to board and that their seats had already been reassigned. Airline staff claimed the women arrived too late to board, but Miriam and Rivka argue the real reason was the Star of David necklace Rivka was wearing. In their federal court complaint, the women state that they were met with “hostile looks” as soon as they reached the front of the boarding line. They claim that when they pleaded with the crew to be allowed on board, they were mocked and laughed at. Eventually, the women were rebooked on a different flight that departed approximately 12 hours later. To secure seats on the alternate flight, they had to pay an extra $25 each. During the extended wait at the airport, they spoke with an airline representative and explained what had happened. The representative reportedly told them that passengers are only required to be at the gate 15 minutes before departure— a condition Miriam and Rivka say they fulfilled. The lawsuit asserts that the two were removed from their original flight “in whole or in part because of their Jewish faith. |

| NHS in Crisis: Patient Forced to Wait Over 10 Days for Hospital Bed Amid Record Delays |
 |
|
A hospital patient was left waiting more than 10 days for a bed, as new data highlights the scale of pressure on the NHS. The case, revealed by NHS England, is among the worst delays ever recorded and has sparked fresh concern about the state of hospital care. According to figures, over 13,000 patients in England waited more than 24 hours for a bed last year after being admitted in A&E—a record high. Experts have called the situation “completely unacceptable,” warning that delayed admissions risk worsening outcomes for patients and put strain on already-stretched staff. The longest wait exceeded 10 days, though NHS England has not disclosed where this occurred. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine has long raised the alarm about overcrowding and unsafe conditions in emergency departments. Charities have called for urgent investment to tackle delayed discharges and free up hospital capacity. The data, campaigners say, offers a stark reminder of how delays in care are affecting some of the country’s most vulnerable patients. |

| Two-Tier Policing’ Row Erupts Over Pro-Palestinian March During Passover in Southend |
 |
|
A pro-Palestinian march held in Westcliff-on-Sea, Southend, during Pesach has triggered fierce backlash over alleged “two-tier policing.” More than 300 demonstrators took to the streets on Shabbos without providing the legally required six-day notice to Essex Police. The march passed through a prominent Jewish neighbourhood, home to five synagogues. Video footage showed officers stopping Jewish residents on their way home from synagogue, while protestors continued unhindered. Critics called the situation a “disastrous failure” by police, accusing them of enabling “intimidating” conduct. Former Attorney General Michael Ellis condemned the police response, saying: “This is a gold standard example of two-tier policing. The police allowed this march to go ahead and then prevented members of the local Jewish community from going about their lawful business.” Ellis called on Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to summon the Chief Constable of Essex Police for an explanation. The force has defended its handling of the event, stating public safety remained its top priority. However, the incident has renewed national concerns about uneven enforcement of protest laws and the protection of minority communities, particularly during sensitive religious periods. |

| DHL suspends some shipments to US amid Trump tariff regime |
 |
|
DHL Express is suspending some shipments to the US as Donald Trump’s new tariff regime takes effect. From 21 April, shipments worth more than $800 (£603) to US consumers from “any origin” will be temporarily suspended. New rules that came into effect at the start of April made such shipments subject to increased customs checks. “This change has caused a surge in formal customs clearances, which we are handling around the clock,” said the parcel delivery service. Shipments going from business to business worth more than $800 aren’t affected by the suspension, but DHL warned they may also face delays. Shipments under $800 to either businesses or consumers are not impacted, but one British cycle manufacturer suggested its US customers may need to split orders over $800 into “smaller shipments” to avoid the red tape. |

As diplomatic tensions rise, Israel is reportedly preparing for potential military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, despite a lack of support from the United States. According to sources cited by Reuters, Israeli officials are considering a range of options, including airstrikes and special operations, aimed at curtailing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. In recent negotiations, Iran expressed a willingness to accept some restrictions on uranium enrichment. However, a high-ranking Iranian official indicated that Tehran would never agree to dismantle its centrifuges for uranium enrichment. “We will never agree to dismantle our centrifuges for uranium enrichment,” the official stated, speaking on condition of anonymity. |
