Israel’s security chief Benjamin Netanyahu said the Omani co‑pilot who flew on the hijacked Flydubai aircraft had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.” The claim follows the October 2 hijacking that forced an emergency response and put Israeli passengers at risk. Netanyahu framed the episode as a direct threat to Israel’s safety and to its diplomatic ties with Gulf states, placing the nation’s security and regional relationships on the line.

The Jerusalem Post added that El Al was forced to cancel its first rescue flights to Dubai after authorities revoked landing permissions, tightening the operational fallout. The episode now sits at a diplomatic standoff as Israeli officials press for the mastermind behind the hijacking.

Calls for accountability are intensifying, with sanctions already announced and airline routes under review. No further details on the identity of the sponsoring state or additional punitive measures have been released, leaving the next diplomatic moves uncertain.
