- An extremist co-pilot attempted to crash a Flydubai flight.
- Criticism mounts over lack of state inquiry into October 7th.
Channel 12 correspondent in Europe, Elad Simchayoff, has joined the sharp criticism directed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the attempted attack on a Flydubai flight. In a concise and pointed tweet on his X account, Simchayoff sharply criticized the political leadership's avoidance of investigating security failures. He wrote, "He who does not deeply investigate failures that led to the deaths of 1,200 people in a day, will not deeply investigate failures that nearly led to the deaths of 174." Simchayoff's remarks come amid growing criticism from journalists and public figures who have recently demanded a thorough examination of security lapses by the Shin Bet and the Ministry of Transportation. These lapses allowed an extremist pilot to gain control of a plane full of Israelis. This criticism is concurrent with ongoing protests over the absence of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th disaster. The dramatic terror incident occurred on Flydubai flight FZ1073, when an Omani co-pilot with extreme Islamist views stabbed the pilot and attempted to crash the plane with its passengers.
