Netanyahu Addresses Security Chiefs at Knesset Sukkah Gathering
Published
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a gathering in the Knesset sukkah on Thursday with senior security officials, Tavor preparatory-academy students, wounded IDF soldiers and reservists’ wives. He discussed the preceding day’s attempted attack aboard a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv and praised Yaniv Hayoun for intervening. In Netanyahu’s account, Hayoun pulled the attacker away while others restrained him, and additional pilots aboard helped stabilize and land the aircraft. Netanyahu described the passengers’ survival as a chain of miracles and divine assistance, saying the gathering could otherwise have taken place in national mourning.
