NETANYAHU: ISLAMIST INDOCTRINATION TO BLAME
- On Wednesday, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to Saudi Arabia after a co-pilot attacked the captain, forcing the plane into a 17,000-foot nosedive before passengers and crew subdued the assailant.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Omani co-pilot "underwent Islamic radical indoctrination" and sought to crash the plane, citing "Islamist tendencies" in his background as evidence of intent.
- During a video call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, Captain Smit Machchhar described fighting to keep the plane airborne while severely wounded, stating, "In that moment, I was fighting for my life."
- Saudi Arabia and Israeli officials have launched investigations into the attack's circumstances, with two Israeli officials telling Reuters the initial assessment is that the pilot was acting alone.
- Israeli officials emphasize it is too early to draw conclusions regarding outside involvement, as authorities continue reviewing the pilot's personal effects for evidence of broader coordination or conspiracy.
