The decision is based on the parties' claim that Israel rejects the existence of a Jewish state and supports the armed struggle. While the Supreme Court's decision is awaited, it is emphasized that not lifting the ban will benefit Netanyahu.

Trump Speaks on Diesel Export Ban

At a press conference at the White House, US President Donald Trump answered the question of whether diesel exports would be banned after an announcement was made about South Korea's investments in energy projects in the United States. Trump said he is thinking about this issue and meets frequently with Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. He quoted Wright and Burgum as thinking that a diesel export ban could reduce diesel prices but increase the prices of some other products. Trump also stated that oil prices will begin to fall and that a large amount of oil is coming out of the Strait of Hormuz. Emphasizing that the problem in diesel prices is due to the developments in Russia rather than the Middle East, Trump stated that the diesel problem occurred due to the diesel refineries in Russia being decommissioned at an alarming rate. US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said that they have been working on this issue for weeks and months, and predicted that diesel prices will drop significantly in the coming days and weeks and that there will be announcements regarding this. Wright stated that there is a tightness in diesel supply due to the loss of diesel coming from Russia and the losses of diesel coming from the Middle East and China, and pointed out that American refineries are producing at record levels. He stated that announcements will be made regarding the arrival of new diesel supply to the market from Europe, which will significantly reduce diesel prices.
