Passengers on a Flydubai flight recounted the "chaos" and uncertainty they experienced during an attempted hijacking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During their meeting with the prime minister, the passengers explained that in the initial moments of the incident, they did not know who else on board might be involved in the "conspiracy." This lack of trust in those around them led them to try and manage the situation themselves.
One passenger told Netanyahu, "We tried to just control the situation because we couldn't trust anyone." The passengers also insisted that the alleged attacker communicate with the crew in English so they could understand what was happening. Prime Minister Netanyahu described this detail as "very interesting" after hearing their account.
The incident involved a Flydubai flight heading to Tel Aviv with approximately 170 Israeli passengers. Following the event, the plane was diverted to Saudi Arabia, where the suspect is currently located. Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced his intention to demand that the security cabinet seek the extradition of the second pilot, suspected of attempting to crash the plane. Ben-Gvir plans to approach the Ministry of Justice and Israeli diplomatic representatives to utilize all available mechanisms to bring the suspect to justice in Israel.
