U.S. President Donald Trump praised Yiniv Hayon, an Israeli plumber who was instrumental in thwarting a hijacking attempt on a Dubai-bound flight, and offered him a position in the White House. Trump lauded Hayon, stating, "He's a man in my style. He can be my plumber, he can be whatever he wants." Hayon reportedly learned about aircraft by watching the TV show "Air Disasters." The incident occurred on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel when the co-pilot, identified as a security risk, attacked the captain and attempted to seize control of the plane. Israeli passengers, including Hayon, intervened, subdued the attacker, and prevented the hijacking. Following the neutralization of the assailant, the aircraft's normal operation was compromised. Hayon was among those who assisted in the cockpit until the plane could land safely. The aircraft eventually landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, with all passengers unharmed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also met with Hayon following the incident.
