Mossad Handles Saudi Coordination After Flydubai Diversion
Published
Mossad is managing Israeli coordination with Saudi Arabia after an Israel-bound Flydubai flight diverted to Tabuk, while Israeli efforts focus on the authorizations required for an IDF aircraft to depart. The copilot is being questioned in Saudi Arabia with Israeli involvement, and the Shin Bet will interview passengers when they return to Israel. Investigators are examining suspicions that a pilot tried to crash the aircraft, but there is no clear indication establishing what happened and all possibilities remain under examination. Flydubai said the aircraft landed safely and all passengers were safe and accounted for.
