    Allies don’t violate your airspace, creating bad media for you.

    But yes to answer your first question I absolutely would expect them to deny commercial overflight of their military operations. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t already

        I agree with you. But that’s a political statement. Politically it is not part of the Israeli country.

        The de facto military truth however, is the Israeli military enjoys full uncontested control of the airspace above Gaza

          But to shoot down other counties aircraft over Gaza would be to make the political statement that it is their airspace, which Is unacceptable

          De facto truth is that French air force conducted air drops of supplies in uncontestedly Israeli airspace above Gaza.

          Israel is not going to attack French military aircraft, it will be political suicide.

          I also do not understand your fixation on commercial overflight which is irrelevant here.

      None of Israel’s allies are true friends of the Israeli people. Because friends don’t let friends commit genocide.

        I will be absolutely shocked and terrified if Israel shoots down a French plane, fuck them for the genocide they are committing, but that moment would be Gavrilo Princip, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin(I know I know), and 9/11 combined in terms of ushering in a new age of conflict. It could easily rip NATO and the UN apart while also escalating the conflict in the Middle East to new heights. I don’t think, or maybe I just hope that, Israel is that stupid.
