United Airlines and Delta are canceling flights to Israel amid growing tensions in the Middle East after Israel killed two top terrorist leaders this week in separate strikes.

“Beginning with this evening’s flight from Newark Liberty to Tel Aviv, we are suspending for security reasons our daily Tel Aviv service as we evaluate our next steps,” a United spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday. “We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on resuming service with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews.”

Delta Air Lines said that it is canceling flights from New York to Tel Aviv through at least Friday in light of recent events.

“Delta flights betweenNew York-JFK and Tel Aviv will be paused through Friday, Aug. 2, due to ongoing conflict in the region. Sales of flights for DL234 on Jul. 31 and Aug. 1, and DL235 on Aug. 1 and Aug. 2. are suspended,” Delta Air Lines said in a statement. “Customers impacted by the schedule change will receive notifications via the Fly Delta app and contact information listed in their reservation.”

The statements come after Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas, was killed in a Tuesday night strike inside of Iran that Israel is believed to be behind.

Haniyeh’s death comes after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched an unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in more than 1,200 people being murdered. Haniyeh celebrated his organization’s terrorist attack against Israel on and publicly called for more attacks.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly ordered a direct strike on Israel in retaliation for Haniyeh’s death.

Earlier in the day on Tuesday, Israel killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s “most senior military commander and the head of its Strategic Unit,” according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Shukr was Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s “right-hand man” and was his “adviser for planning and directing wartime operations.”

Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe pushed back on recent attempts by Democrats to brand the Republican Party as “weird” by highlighting some of the more outlandish things that have happened within the Democratic Party under President Joe Biden.

Boothe, who made the remarks Wednesday afternoon on the network’s “The Faulker Focus,” said: “I don’t think the Democrats can call the Republicans weird, and if they are, they’re the party of freaks.”

“I mean, Joe Biden was the one that picked a guy who has an animal roleplaying fetish that he’s open about that went on to steal suitcases,” Boothe began. “He had a transgender activist in the South Lawn flashing the cameras.”

“You had a Democrat staffer filming a sex tape on Capitol Hill,” she said. “Cocaine was found at the White House.”

Boothe continued, “So if the Republican Party is the party of weirdos, the Democrat Party is [the party] of purple-haired freaks. But beyond that, let’s get to the issues. Kamala Harris can try to lie all she wants, because that’s what she is. I mean, we all remember when she stood on the debate stage during the 2020 presidential debate when she was vying but had to drop out before Iowa, she basically called Joe Biden a racist, signed up to be his VP, and then when asked about it, she was like, ‘Oh, it’s just politics, right?'”

“So if you vote for Kamala Harris, she’s going to sell you out,” Boothe said. “And she’s the kind of politician, Kamala Harris is, who punishes hardworking Americans and rewards criminality. You know, if you like affordable energy, too bad, she wants to ban offshore drilling and fracking. If you like your guns, too bad, she wants to ban AR-15s and confiscate them. If you like your private insurance, too bad, she said she’s getting rid of it and supports Medicare for All. But what does she support? She supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings. So if you’re an immigrant coming in here, you’re fine. She also told Jacob Blake, a guy who pulled a knife on police officers, that she was proud of him. So, hardworking Americans, she doesn’t like you. Criminal? She loves you.”
