Following a near-attack on a Flydubai flight, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a comprehensive review of foreign civil aviation security in Israel. Netanyahu appointed the Head of the National Security Staff, head of the National Security Staff in the Prime Minister's Office, to lead the investigation and identify the causes of the security lapse. The Prime Minister's Office did not specify the timeline or methodology for this review. Meanwhile, Israeli journalists found that neither the Shin Bet, Mossad, nor the Ministry of Transport considers itself directly responsible for vetting foreign airline crews and ensuring the security of civilian flights, despite existing regulations suggesting otherwise. A meeting of the political-security cabinet to discuss aviation security is scheduled for later this evening. Earlier, Netanyahu commented on the Flydubai incident, stating that the co-pilot who attempted the attack had become radicalized by Islamic extremism and that authorities were investigating whether he acted alone. Passengers from the flight had also personally recounted the events to the Prime Minister.
