Speaking with Fox News, Netanyahu warned that the incident might not be isolated, citing indications that Iran is attempting to target Israeli interests before upcoming elections. "They might try to carry out something like this again," he stated, urging vigilance. We know he underwent extreme Islamist training, that's what we're learning from the collected information and his personal details."
Describing the co-pilot's intent to crash the plane, Netanyahu explained the extreme measures taken by the crew. "To understand this, they subdued him and then had to tie him with a headphone cable from the cockpit until they finally found zip ties," he said.
