United is resuming flights to Israel
The carrier will operate one flight to Tel Aviv from Newark that day, before resuming twice-daily service on July 22.
United last completed a flight to Tel Aviv on June 11, before the beginning of Israel's bombing campaign against Iran caused the carrier to turn a flight back en route to Tel Aviv the following day.
Delta's Israel service has also been suspended since then. The airline plans to continue the pause of its New York JFK-Tel Aviv flights through Aug. 31.
Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia are currently operating U.S. flights.

Red Sea Attacks by Houthi Rebels Lift Crude Prices
August WTI crude oil (CLQ25) on Tuesday closed up +0.40 (+0.59%), and August RBOB gasoline (RBQ25) closed up +0.0328 (+1.52%). Crude oil and gasoline prices on Tuesday added to Monday's gains and posted 2-week highs. Elevated tensions in the Middle East are boosting crude prices as Houthi rebels resumed their attacks on ships sailing through the Red Sea, which could attract retaliatory US military strikes on the Houthi rebels. Tuesday's rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1.5-week high limited gains in crude. Nat-Gas Prices Recover as Hotter Temps Forecast for the Central US Energy Demand Optimism and Houthi Rebel Attacks on Red Sea Shipping Boost Crude Prices Crude Prices Climb on Energy Demand Optimism and Middle East Tensions Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Heightened tensions in the Middle East are supportive of crude prices after Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked another merchant ship in the Red Sea on Tuesday, after attacking a vessel sailing through the Red Sea on Sunday. The attacks on shipping could boost freight rates and insurance costs for shippers, making crude supplies from the Middle East more expensive. The attacks have already prompted retaliatory strikes by Israeli jets on Houthi targets and could prompt strikes from the US as well. Supporting crude oil prices are signs of stronger crude demand, as evidenced by Saudi Arabia's state-owned producer Aramco raising prices for its Arab Light crude for buyers in Asia next month by $1 a barrel, above expectations of a 65-cent-a-barrel increase. Concern about a global oil glut is negative for crude prices. On Sunday, OPEC+ agreed to raise its crude production by 548,000 barrels per day (bpd) beginning August 1, exceeding expectations of a 411,000 bpd increase. Saudi Arabia also stated that additional similar-sized increases in crude output could follow, which is viewed as a strategy to reduce oil prices and penalize overproducing OPEC+ members, such as Kazakhstan and Iraq. OPEC+ is boosting output to reverse the 2-year-long production cut, gradually restoring a total of 2.2 million bpd of production by September 2026. On May 31, OPEC+ agreed to a 411,000 bpd increase in crude production for July, following the same 411,000 bpd hike for June. June crude production rose +360,000 bpd to a 1.5-year high of 28.10 million bpd. Oil prices continue to be undercut by tariff concerns ahead of Wednesday's deadline when President Trump says he will implement reciprocal tariffs on imports from any countries that haven't yet reached a trade deal with the Trump administration. An increase in crude oil held worldwide on tankers is bearish for oil prices. Vortexa reported Monday that crude oil stored on tankers that have been stationary for at least seven days rose by +3.6% w/w to 79.55 million bbl in the week ended July 4. The consensus is that Wednesday's weekly EIA crude inventories will decline by -1.6 million bbl, and gasoline supplies will fall by -1.0 million bbl. Last Wednesday's EIA report showed that (1) US crude oil inventories as of June 27 were -9.3% below the seasonal 5-year average, (2) gasoline inventories were -0.7% below the seasonal 5-year average, and (3) distillate inventories were -21.0% below the 5-year seasonal average. US crude oil production in the week ending June 27 was unchanged w/w at 13.433 million bpd, modestly below the record high of 13.631 million bpd from the week of December 6. Baker Hughes reported last Thursday that active US oil rigs in the week ending July 4 fell by -7 to a 3.75-year low of 425 rigs. Over the past 2.5 years, the number of US oil rigs has fallen sharply from the 5.25-year high of 627 rigs reported in December 2022.

Google (GOOGL) Co-Founder Sergey Brin Calls United Nations ‘Transparently Antisemitic'
Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google parent company Alphabet (GOOGL), has accused the United Nations (U.N.) of being 'transparently antisemitic' following a report that was published alleging technology firms profited off the 'genocide carried out by Israel' in Gaza.

The U.N. reportedly calls out big technology companies such as Alphabet for their connections to Israel. An angry Brin called the U.N. 'transparently antisemitic' during an internal forum with employees of Alphabet, according to multiple media reports. Brian was apparently angry that the U.N. report accuses Google and its parent company Alphabet of profiting from the war between Israel and Hamas by providing cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to the Israeli government and military. 'Deeply Offensive' Brin wrote in a forum for staff at Google DeepMind, the company's AI division, 'With all due respect, throwing around the term genocide in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to many Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides. I would also be careful citing transparently antisemitic organizations like the UN in relation to these issues.' The U.N. report was authored by Francesa Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Albanese has been accused of antisemitism on numerous occasions in the past, and the U.S. has called her 'unfit' for her current role. The subject of whether the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza rises to the level of genocide remains debatable by both politicians and international organizations. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said that the war is a defensive act after Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,195 people and taking 251 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023. Brin's comments were reportedly made on a Google Chat forum that has nearly 2,500 members, most of whom are AI researchers at the company. Brin has said in the past that he and his Russian Jewish parents immigrated to the U.S. to escape the antisemitism they faced in the former Soviet Union. He remains on Alphabet's board of directors and is still actively involved with Google, particularly in AI research. GOOGL stock has declined 7% this year. Is GOOGL Stock a Buy? average GOOGL price target of $202.39 implies 16.08% upside from current levels.
