Political commentator Amit Segal described a dramatic incident involving a Flydubai flight from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv, carrying approximately 100 Israelis, as "extremely serious." The plane, which had been en route to Israel, began circling over Jordan and Saudi Arabia. At one point, the aircraft activated an emergency code and transmitted a distress signal. Segal noted that the plane had not established contact to report a mistake, which is often the case in such situations. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz are reportedly in emergency consultations with security officials regarding the unfolding event. Israeli authorities have been unable to establish contact with the pilot. The flight is expected to land in Saudi Arabia shortly, after which security officials hope to determine the cause of the incident, including the possibility of a hijacking. Professor Cohen Eliya stated that this event could be decisive in upcoming elections.
