Bennett Slams Government Over "Fly Dubai" Incident, Links It to October 7th

Naftali Bennett, chairman of the "Yachad" party, has strongly criticized the government's response to a recent security incident on a Fly Dubai flight, asserting a direct link between this "failure" and the October 7th massacre. Bennett accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Transportation Minister Miri Regev of "celebrating the failure that occurred on their watch" instead of conducting a thorough investigation as if a mass casualty event had taken place. He demanded immediate answers regarding the security of flights to Israel, the possibility of Iranian pilots being in the country, and measures to prevent future disasters.

Keren Turner, former Director-General of the Ministry of Transportation and a candidate on the "Yachad" list, also pointed fingers at Minister Regev. Turner claimed Regev made security decisions against the recommendations of the Shin Bet and the National Security Council, and ignored a critical report from the State Comptroller warning about the inadequacy of the ministry's security department. According to Turner, Regev endangered residents' lives for the sake of authority and positions, calling for the government's replacement in the upcoming elections in 23 days.
