Israel Orders Review of Foreign Flights After flydubai Attack

In October 2026, Israel ordered a security review of international flights after an attack on flydubai. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the review. Naftali Bennett said Netanyahu and Regev were directly responsible for the flydubai hijacking attempt. A report said Israel had names before flydubai flight FZ1073 took off but failed to flag the Omani co-pilot, and sources said Shin Bet had warned about the flight crew vetting process before the incident. Israel admitted it does not independently vet foreign pilots.
