Saudi Arabia Denies Israeli Request to Retrieve Passengers from Emergency-Landed Flight
Saudi Arabia declined Israel's request to allow Israeli military planes to retrieve passengers from a flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in the kingdom after the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and attempted to crash the plane. Passengers subdued the co-pilot, and the plane was safely landed. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed the incident. Saudi Arabia has no diplomatic ties with Israel and denied reports of recent meetings between Saudi and Israeli officials amid ongoing discussions about the Abraham Accords and Palestinian statehood.
