Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged a "breach" in Israeli aviation security following an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Ben Gur જેથી. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, involved an attempt to crash the plane.
Concerns about security vulnerabilities in Israeli aviation are not new. A state comptroller report from two years ago highlighted security deficiencies on flights operated by foreign airlines. Despite these warnings, the Ministry of Transport, headed by Miri Regev, reportedly took no action to address the issues.
Since the attempted attack, the Ministry of Transport has not provided public explanations regarding responsibility for the security failures or the lessons to be learned. Israeli airlines from the United Arab Emirates, including Flydubai, have been operating in Israel for six years following the Abraham Accords.
