- Netanyahu acknowledged a security gap in Israeli aviation.
- The State Comptroller had previously warned of security issues.
- The Ministry of Transport reportedly ignored prior warnings.
- Airlines from UAE operate in Israel under Abraham Accords.
- Public explanations on security failures have not been provided.
This admission comes years after the State Comptroller warned of security deficiencies on foreign airlines operating in Israel. The Ministry of Transport, headed by Miri Regev, reportedly took no action to address these issues.
For six years, airlines from the United Arab Emirates, including Flydubai, have been operating in Israel as part of the Abraham Accords. However, the security vulnerability that Netanyahu identified is not a new discovery. The article highlights that the Ministry of Transport has not provided public explanations regarding responsibility for the security failures or the lessons learned since the recent attempted attack.
