- Iran warned the UAE against hosting "the butcher from Gaza" after a flight attack.
- A FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv experienced an attempted attack.
- One pilot allegedly stabbed another and tried to crash the plane.
- The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia; the suspect was arrested.
- Israel's Defense Minister called the incident a jihadist attack attempt.
Hours after a suspected jihadist attack aboard a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezai issued a stark warning to the United Arab Emirates. Rezai stated, "Just as hosting American bases did not bring you security, neither will hosting 'the butcher from Gaza'." This statement is being interpreted as a potential reference to the morning's incident, though no public proof of Iranian involvement has been presented.
The Iranian message arrives amidst heightened tensions between Tehran and Abu Dhabi concerning their ties with Israel. Iran had previously cautioned regional nations against expanding Israeli presence on their territories, particularly following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the UAE, warning of "dangerous consequences."
The timing of Rezai's remarks is significant given the events on the FlyDubai flight. According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, one pilot allegedly stabbed another and attempted to crash the plane before passengers and crew intervened. The aircraft, carrying mostly Israeli passengers, made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia where the suspect was apprehended. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon described the incident as a "jihadist attack attempt."
