Former U.S. President Donald Trump released a special video on his TikTok account praising Yaniv Hayun, an Israeli plumber who helped subdue the co-pilot attempting to hijack a Flydubai flight. Trump called Hayun a "hero" for his actions, stating, "He did an amazing job. He got in there and learned how to fly by watching 'Air Crash Investigation' on TV." Trump added humorously, "He can be my plumber. He can be anything he wants to be." Hayun, 38, from Ness Ziona, was on the flight when the co-pilot, identified as Omani, attempted the hijacking. Hayun, along with fellow Israeli passengers Zvika Mans and Assaf Rejwan, and dentist Dr. Shota Musayev, assisted in overpowering the co-pilot. Musayev treated the captain after he was stabbed during the incident. Hayun was credited with stabilizing the aircraft while the co-pilot was attempting to disable the instrument panel. Hayun commented on Trump's praise, saying, "In my wildest dreams, I never thought Trump would talk about me."
