✈️ Major Disruptions in Global Air Travel & Supply Chains ✈️ In a recent interview for Globes, Elad Barshan, CEO of SlickChain LTD and an expert in international shipping & customs, highlighted the severe impact of the 24-hour strike that has paralyzed air travel across Germany. With 3,400 flights canceled and nearly 500,000 passengers affected, the disruption extends beyond passenger travel and is already disrupting global supply chains. Lufthansa’s Frankfurt hub, a key player in international air freight, is experiencing delays that could have widespread consequences. As Elad Barshan pointed out: "Lufthansa, with its Frankfurt hub, is a key player in air freight to Israel. Given the current geopolitical climate, where many airlines have scaled back operations, disruptions like these can directly impact supply chains, particularly for tech components, pharmaceuticals, and perishable items." As global logistics face increasing volatility, businesses must stay agile and adapt to ensure resilient supply chain strategies. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ddczJeVr #SupplyChain #Aviation #Logistics #Germany #Freight #Shipping #InternationalTrade #AirCargo #Resilience

🌍 Israel’s Strategic Opportunity Amid Global Trade Shifts 🚢📈 In a recent article by Dean Shmuel Elmas for Globes Business Magazine, Elad Barshan, CEO of SlickChain LTD and an expert in international trade, highlighted how Israel can position itself as a key alternative for global manufacturers affected by U.S. tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. With businesses seeking new production hubs, Israel’s free trade agreement (FTA) with the U.S. offers a major advantage. 🔹 The U.S.-Israel FTA allows products with at least 35% Israeli content to enter the U.S. duty-free, making Israel an attractive destination for foreign manufacturers looking to bypass high tariffs. 🔹 Elad Barshan emphasized in the article: "With the right strategy, companies can shift production to Israel or regional QIZs, leverage lower costs, and still enjoy duty-free access to the U.S. This is particularly relevant for high-value industries like technology, industrial components, and medical equipment." 🔹 The article also explores how Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) agreements with Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority provide additional pathways for foreign investors to access the U.S. market while keeping manufacturing costs competitive. 💡 Why Israel? ✔ Strong trade agreements with the U.S. and regional partners ✔ Advanced manufacturing and logistics capabilities ✔ A strategic gateway for foreign investors seeking tariff-free U.S. access With the right approach, Israel can attract new investments, expand its export potential, and establish itself as a key global trade player.
