The brief
Ireland's new government jet cannot land safely in foggy conditions because an Israeli-made guidance system was removed due to product boycotts. Ministers reportedly demanded the removal of the equipment, leaving the aircraft without a key safety system for low-visibility landings.
Outlets including The Times of Israel, The Daily Wire, Yahoo, and the New York Post report that the jet struggles to land properly as a result of avoiding Israeli products. Future updates will clarify whether alternative landing equipment will be installed on the aircraft.
