Israel's Ministry of Transport's Security Unit has begun reviewing passenger and crew data for incoming foreign flights, three years after the relevant legislation was enacted. This action follows the "Flydubai incident," aiming to implement lessons learned from past security failures. The unit is part of the National Passenger Data Analysis Database (MALAN), established in 2023, which includes seven government bodies.
Despite this step, the Security Unit is reportedly lacking in capabilities and its management is currently incapacitated. This situation raises questions about the delay in transferring responsibility for foreign aviation security to a new, presumably more capable, body. The article implies that the current state of affairs leaves Israel's foreign aviation security vulnerable.
