Transport Ministry Under Scrutiny After Flydubai Attack Attempt
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Israel's Transport Ministry sought airline crew data only after a Knesset hearing on the attempted flydubai attack, despite three years of requests from the Tax Authority. The ministry's security division was informed the system could not provide data 48 hours before departure, a limitation they reportedly complained about, though the Tax Authority claims the ministry approved the procedure. Meanwhile, police launched an inquiry into senior Transport Ministry officials over alleged conflicts of interest, as international investigations into the attack continue.
