Israel Proposes $86 Carbon Tax on U.S. Flights (thetravel.com)

The Israel Tax Authority proposed a carbon emissions tax that could add up to $86 to fares for passengers flying from Ben Gurion Airport to the United States. The measure aims to raise $350 million by charging long-haul travelers more than short-haul ones, affecting Delta and United routes currently operating between Tel Aviv and hubs like Atlanta, JFK, Newark, Chicago, and Washington Dulles.
