Barak made these claims in an interview with Channel 12, stating that Netanyahu is "preparing the infrastructure for war in such a way as to postpone the elections." He further criticized the current prime minister, asserting that Netanyahu must be removed from office through the upcoming elections.

The article also mentions a separate incident involving a Flydubai flight, FZ1073, on September 30, where the co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation is examining whether the attacker acted alone or on orders, according to Netanyahu.
