Nearly a week after being rescued from an attempted hijacking on a Flydubai flight, passengers have reported receiving no assistance from the state. Several passengers told the newspaper Haaretz that they are experiencing psychological distress following the incident, where the co-pilot attempted to hijack the plane. They also stated that bureaucratic dealings with the airline and discussions regarding compensation are proceeding without any government involvement. One passenger commented, "Maybe we are expecting too much. This is the state and we have to accept it." The Ministry of Welfare stated that it has not yet received the passenger list. The National Insurance Institute declined to comment.
