Israel to award Indian pilot Machchhar highest civilian bravery honor after foiling Tel Aviv attack

Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced that Indian captain Smit Machchhar will receive the Presidential Award for Civilian Heroism once he recovers from injuries sustained during a cockpit attack. Machchhar fought off his Omani co-pilot, Hammam Al-Hammami, who attempted to crash a flydubai flight into Tel Aviv. Six Israeli passengers who helped subdue the attacker also received the award in a ceremony on October 8. Investigations continue into security failures that allowed the suspect, previously banned from flying in Oman, to operate the aircraft.

Herzog brands UK settlement sanctions 'grave mistake' amid Israeli election

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has condemned recent British sanctions targeting Israeli settlements as a 'grave mistake' and an act of political interference. Speaking in an interview on October 1, 2026, Herzog accused the UK government of unfairly influencing Israel's upcoming elections, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking another term. The sanctions, announced by British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband earlier this month alongside France and Canada, ban trade in goods and services from settlements and target entities aiding expansion. Herzog urged European allies to consult Israel before imposing such measures, stating he was 'disturbed and offended' on behalf of his nation. This diplomatic friction follows a broader shift in UK-Israel relations, including a previous dispute over a consulate closure and warnings from British intelligence officials about the timing of the sanctions.

Herzog Pardons Azaria, Overriding Military Objections

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has granted a full pardon to Elor Azaria, the combat medic convicted in 2017 for shooting a wounded Palestinian attacker in Hebron. The decision, announced on the eve of Yom Kippur, expunges Azaria’s criminal record despite strong opposition from the military leadership. While the presidency cited the passage of time and Azaria’s expressed sorrow as justification, the Chief of Staff maintained that the soldier had not shown remorse or accepted responsibility for the act.

Herzog Pardons Elor Azaria, Clearing Record of Soldier Who Shot Wounded Palestinian in 2016

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has granted a full pardon to Elor Azaria, the combat medic convicted in 2017 for shooting a wounded Palestinian attacker in Hebron. The decision, recommended by Defense Minister Israel Katz, erases Azaria’s criminal record and was framed as a humanitarian gesture ahead of Yom Kippur. While Katz and hard-line officials praised the move, the military chief of staff opposed it, and human rights groups previously criticized the original sentence as too lenient.
