Impact verdict

Low impact. LOW: A single airline suspending flights to Israel for a short period is a routine commercial decision in a JWC-listed war risk area. No named insured loss, no hull damage, and no permanent airspace closure. Aviation war risk underwriters monitor such suspensions, but one carrier's temporary pause does not constitute a market-moving event.
