Israel to Start Repatriation Flights for Passengers Stranded in UAE Following FlyDubai Attack – WTOP News
Israeli carriers will run special flights and cap luggage as security talks continue after Flydubai suspended service.
- On Friday, Israel began repatriation flights to bring back passengers stranded in the United Arab Emirates after commercial travel between the two nations was suspended following an attack on a pilot during a Tel Aviv-bound flight.
- During the Wednesday FlyDubai flight, the copilot attacked Captain Smit Machchhar, forcing an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia; the wounded captain opened the cockpit door, allowing passengers to restrain the attacker as the Boeing 737 descended sharply.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Thursday that the Omani copilot underwent "Islamist radical indoctrination," though he provided no evidence to back the assertion, while Emiratis lead the regional investigation.
- President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that the United States will "hit them very hard" if Iranian agents were involved, adding uncertainty to diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the seven-month war.
- Dispatching roughly 9,000 more troops to the Middle East, the United States is further complicating the political climate during the upcoming midterm elections; this deployment brings the total regional naval presence to more than 20,000 sailors and Marines.
