Port of Eilat wasn't bankrupt

[edit]

It states in the status that Port of Eilat had bankrupt. It's fake news spread by a Turkish state-owned agency. Why Wikipedia spread biased propaganda and nobody cares? https://www.mako.co.il/nexter-news/Article-dc99dbd9d54d091026.htm IdanST (talk) 14:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is mentioned in the infobox under "status" with a citation to a Bloomberg article that does not mention bankruptcy. Middle East Monitor, Seatrade Maritime News, WorldCargo News, Palestine Chronicle, and MintPress News all mention bankruptcy, some quoting the port's CEO saying "It must be acknowledged that the port is in a state of bankruptcy". The Jerusalem Post, Reuters, The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, and Bloomberg mention the substantial financial hardship, but do not mention bankruptcy. The CEO saying it is in bankruptcy is not an actual legal declaration of bankruptcy and was said in the context of seeking financial aid and perhaps later in justifying layoffs. Putting the semantics of what is "declared bankruptcy" aside, the condition of the port is not mentioned in the article and would belong in the Red Sea crisis article, not here. So while I do not see it as Turkish propaganda, it does seem like click bait and perhaps self-serving rhetoric and outside the current preview of this article. I will remove it.
