Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will get to the bottom of the issue involving the co-pilot who attempted to crash a FlyDubai flight headed to Israel. Netanyahu made these comments in an interview on the Fox News program "Hannity". He mentioned that Israel may participate in the investigation. The incident involved a FlyDubai flight that was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after the co-pilot attempted to take control of the plane.
According to Netanyahu, the co-pilot is currently being questioned in Saudi Arabia. He believes that the co-pilot may be transferred to the United Arab Emirates, where he resides, or at least where the flight originated. Netanyahu's comments come after Israeli officials reported that the motive behind the co-pilot's actions is still under investigation. The incident occurred on flight FZ1073, which was traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
Israeli officials have revealed that passengers and crew members were able to prevent the co-pilot from crashing the plane. The co-pilot had started a fight with the pilot and caused the plane to rapidly descend approximately 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds. However, the passengers and crew managed to enter the cockpit and subdue the co-pilot. Two other pilots from FlyDubai, who were on board, were able to safely land the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
The incident has raised concerns about airline safety, and FlyDubai has stated that the reasons behind the incident are still unknown. The company has warned against speculation. US President Donald Trump has also commented on the incident, revealing that a Israeli maintenance worker on board helped to subdue the co-pilot. Trump's comments were accompanied by a video of the incident.
Netanyahu's comments suggest that Israel is taking the incident seriously and is determined to uncover the truth. He stated that Israel will "get to the bottom" of the issue and determine whether the co-pilot had any accomplices or if Iran was involved. Netanyahu's comments have added to speculation about the incident and the possible motives behind the co-pilot's actions.
The incident has sparked an international investigation, with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel all involved. The investigation aims to determine the causes of the incident and whether there was any foul play involved. The incident has also raised concerns about airline safety and security.
