Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a "Fox News" interview early Thursday, detailed the attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight, where a co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and caused the plane to dive sharply. Netanyahu lauded Yaniv Hayun, a plumber by trade, who, along with other passengers, broke into the cockpit, neutralized the assailant, and stabilized the aircraft. "This is immense courage that prevented another September 11th," the Prime Minister stated, adding that he discussed the incident with U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed "great appreciation."
Regarding potential Iranian involvement in the attempted attack, Netanyahu said it was too early to determine definitively but that Israel would monitor and participate in the investigation. He described Israel as "David fighting Goliath" against distorted online propaganda and warned of an "Islamist-Marxist alliance" threatening the entire Western world.
Netanyahu also revealed that Israel had provided crucial intelligence to British authorities regarding an Iranian terror plot. He criticized London for subsequently imposing sanctions on Israel in response to this information.
