English · 3 newsrooms covering

An attempted hijacking of a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv is reportedly strengthening Israel's right-wing bloc, according to recent polls. The incident is seen as influencing voters on an emotional level, evoking pride in Israeli identity rather than policy preferences. Claims of Netanyahu's prior warnings and official failures are dismissed as baseless. The perceived heroism of flydubai passenger Yaniv Hayun is highlighted as a factor potentially swaying undecided voters back to the right.
