the Israelis love to say that
"the best hechsher in the USA doesn't come close to the worst in isreal"
(and they also have the cure for yene maysay)
I havent heard Israelis say that, and it's patently false

Besides for politics, there are plenty of objectively bad Israeli hashgachos

apparently not so objective... There are products marked as Mehadrin by various hashgachos in Israel that  wouldn't pass a kosher by national agencies in the US.

*The worst hechsher in the USA is light years ahead of the Rabbanut in Israel.

You gotta first understand how the system works.
There are certifiers in the US which do absolutely nothing other than collect a check.

They don't even make sure the item has a national hechsher?

So you're saying that there are Chassidishe hashgochas who will take money for slapping their name on the product, but will not go down to supervise or tweak the process, but simply just trust the OU or similar that is already on the product?

These UAE hotels will start offering kosher food
Hotels that will be offering the cuisine include Hilton Dubai, V Hotel, Habtoor Palace Dubai, LXR Hotel and Resorts, Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection LLC, Metropolitan Hotel and Habtoor Polo Resort.

The hospitality group teamed up with Ellie Kriel, founder of Ellis Kosher Kitchen, to ensure all meals are prepared in accordance to the OU Kosher Certification (Orthodox United), known to be the most trusted form of certification when it comes to handling kosher meals globally.

Is that a typo or is there a new Orthodox "United" hashgacha?

I can picture sealed pre-packaged food being warmed up at the hotel, and they would have an inventory in their freezers
