#wexwakeup for Tuesday, October 10☕☀️

Several United States-based airlines have canceled all flights to Israel's largest international airport in the wake of the deadly terror attacks by militant group Hamas and Israel's stern response. Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport, located just outside Tel Aviv, is less than 40 miles from Gaza, where rocket barrages soar over the territory. With Israel declaring war against Hamas and the conflict raging, airlines have taken steps to protect their travelers and interests. Here is what you need to know about travel to and from Tel Aviv.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family members have condemned his decision to run as an independent in the 2024 presidential election, claiming that he "does not share the same values, vision or judgment." Kennedy's announcement on Monday follows weeks of speculation that the candidate would leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent. The statement from Kennedy's family, which claimed that his announcement was "deeply saddening," was signed by four of his siblings: Kerry Kennedy, Rory Kennedy, Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said “trust” is at the core of the vote for House speaker. “I just want someone that America can trust. That’s it at the end of the day,” Mace told The Ingraham Angle. “If we make a promise to the country that we’re going to follow the law, we’re going to have a budget, we’re going to have spending bills to support that budget, that we follow through with it, and we do the job that we told Americans that we would do.”
