Former Israeli Ambassador to the UAE, Amir Hayek, has urged against rushing to judgment regarding the airline flydubai following an incident on a flight bound for Tel Aviv that was diverted to Saudi Arabia.

Hayek advised waiting for the results of the ongoing investigation before drawing conclusions based on speculation. He highlighted that flydubai and Etihad are among the few airlines that continued flying to Israel even during difficult periods. "The UAE and the airline deserve the opportunity to thoroughly establish the circumstances of what happened," Hayek stated on social media platform X, adding, "I trust them."
