Israel's Ministry of Transportation responded Sunday to accusations that it is responsible for vetting foreign flight crews arriving in Israel. The ministry's statement came in the wake of an incident last week where an Omani co-pilot, identified as a terrorist, attempted to crash a Flydubai flight. The ministry vehemently denied the allegations, stating they are based on a confusion between foreign flights and chartered flights operated by Israeli companies. "Foreign elements are briefing fake news and lies and are deliberately misleading you," the ministry declared in its response.
