Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tasked the National Security Council (NSC) with examining flight security failures related to Israel. This decision comes despite the fact that the NSC has previously been involved in reviewing these very issues, stemming from a State Comptroller's report, but reportedly failed in their implementation. The article acknowledges the extreme difficulty in defending against a suicidal pilot, whether driven by depression or acting as a terrorist. Such incidents are described as very rare, with only four known occurrences: the EgyptAir crash in 1999, the Germanwings crash in 2015, and the presumed disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in 2014. The first three cases are attributed to depressed pilots who took their passengers down with them.
