Israel's Transportation Minister Miri Regev has called for an examination of whether Dubai has violated the aviation agreement between the two countries. The demand follows an unusual incident on a Flydubai flight. The agreement stipulates that only pilots holding passports from nations with diplomatic ties to Israel are permitted to land in the country.
This review is prompted by suspicions that the flight's co-pilot, identified as Omani, may have attempted to hijack the aircraft. Concurrently, authorities are investigating whether the co-pilot held a second citizenship that would have allowed him to board the flight bound for Israel. The specifics of the incident and the co-pilot's alleged actions are under scrutiny as part of this broader review of adherence to the aviation accord.
