Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated it is too early to determine if Iran was involved in the incident targeting a Flydubai flight, in an interview with Fox News. Responding to a question about indications of Iranian involvement, Netanyahu said, "It is very early to determine that." He added that the pilot is currently under investigation in Saudi Arabia and is expected to be transferred later to the United Arab Emirates to continue the investigation, as the flight had departed from there.
In a related context, a US State Department official confirmed to Kan that four passengers on the flight hold American citizenship. The official added that the US Embassy in Riyadh and the US Consulate in Jeddah are in contact with Saudi authorities, who are handling the investigations. The official stated that President Donald Trump's administration "takes its commitment to the safety of American citizens abroad very seriously and is prepared to provide them with consular assistance."
