Netanyahu orders security review of international flights to Israel after Flydubai incident
What happened
Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a security review of foreign flights to Israel after an Omani co-pilot allegedly tried to crash a Flydubai flight from Dubai.
The Israel-bound plane, carrying 180 passengers, mostly Israelis, landed in Saudi Arabia on 30 September, according to Middle East Eye.
Netanyahu asked National Security Council chief Shmuel Ben Ezra to appoint an examiner for the review, his office said.
Netanyahu said Israel was examining whether anyone directed the co-pilot and promised a «heavy price» for those involved.
