Netanyahu Says Too Early to Confirm Iran Link in Flydubai Flight Incident
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the Flydubai flight incident, where the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane, as a serious security event. Netanyahu said it is too early to confirm Iranian involvement but noted the co-pilot's hostility toward Israelis. Israel has been invited by the UAE to join the investigation, which is ongoing in Saudi Arabia. The motive remains unclear, and officials caution against premature conclusions while investigations continue.
