Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has called for the resignation of Shin Bet chief David Zini following a security failure related to a Flydubai flight. Lieberman stated that in a properly functioning state, the head of the general security service should step down the day after such a serious lapse. "Zini must resign. No one is taking responsibility," Lieberman declared, according to Channel 12.
Meanwhile, Knesset members Efrat Rahten and Ram Ben-Barak have sent a letter to the government's legal advisor, demanding an investigation into the incident. They cited emerging information suggesting "possible serious negligence" by relevant authorities. The opposition lawmakers asserted that agencies had the tools to vet crew members' data and a legal mechanism for collecting and analyzing such information, which should have revealed the co-pilot's Omani citizenship.
Minister of Transportation Miri Regev has denied any responsibility of her ministry for the security failures exposed by the Flydubai incident. She also criticized opposition leader Yair Lapid for blaming her ministry for failing to prevent the attack.
