European airlines are increasingly cancelling flights to and from Israel due to concerns over a potential conflict with Hezbollah and possible Iranian retaliation following the killing of Ismail Haniyeh. While major U.S. airlines like Delta and United had already announced cancellations, the trend extended over the weekend with more European airlines following suit.

There are consequences for being a rogue state.

rogue state

I think it's more like these airlines are more hella cautious about flying in any airspace there might be risk of active air warfare.

That's the legacy of MH17.

This doesn't have anything to do with that. More like safety reason.

100% agree. When states publicly and unapologetically commit genocide within their own borders, it tends to make the airspace unusable for commercial traffic.
