- Transport Minister Miri Regev denies her ministry's responsibility for foreign flight security.
- Regev stated that intelligence agencies are responsible for flight security verification.
- Her remarks follow an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight last Wednesday.
- The minister has not yet released findings from the investigation into the incident.
Minister of Transportation Miri Regev stated in an interview with Kan 11 News that the security of foreign flights is the responsibility of security agencies, not her ministry. "Those who are supposed to perform the verification are intelligence bodies, and we are not intelligence bodies," Regev said. This statement shifts responsibility away from the Ministry of Transportation, which regulates foreign airlines and is involved in their security with the assistance of the Shin Bet and Mossad. The minister has not yet presented public findings regarding the investigation into this incident.
