Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Dubai Flight Incident:

"One of the pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently attempted to crash the plane with its passengers on board.

The plane entered a spin and began to fall. An Israeli passenger and one of the crew members entered the cockpit and neutralized the attacking pilot.

Another member of the crew managed to return the plane to a stable position, preventing a major disaster.

The attacking pilot is currently being questioned by Saudi authorities.

I have instructed security agencies to be prepared to deal with any potential further threats."

Reactions to the incident in Saudi Arabia —

Mamdani: Condemns the illegal entry of Israelis into Saudi Arabia, which is part of the vision of Greater Israel.

European Union: We call on all sides in the cockpit to cease the mutual violence.

United Kingdom: We will impose sanctions on extremist Israelis who stormed the cockpit and handcuffed a Muslim.

Al Jazeera: Twenty-seven children and six pilots were killed in an Israeli attack.

New York Times: Plane nearly crashed over Saudi Arabia after confrontation between Israelis and Muslims.

This man is a hero.

Captain "Smith Machhar," an Indian pilot for FlyDubai, confronted the attacker after being stabbed in the cockpit.

Despite his serious injuries, he managed to unlock the cockpit door, allowing Israeli passengers and Emirati crew members to intervene and save the lives of all the passengers.

Their extraordinary courage, working together, saved the lives of 174 people.

Indian. Israeli. Emirati.

Different nationalities. One courageous and unprecedented act. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪

We wish Captain Machhar a full and speedy recovery.

Reporter:
What makes you confident that the FlyDubai incident was a failed terrorist act and not a case of mental health issues?

🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu:
Well, it could be. I don't know. We'll know soon.
We have had indications that Iran, and specifically through its proxies, has been seeking to increase terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli citizens abroad.
But I think it's too early to say whether there was any collusion with Iran in this case. I think we'll know soon.

Reporter:
Do you have any information about a planned attack, similar to 9/11, against Israel?

🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu:
No, there is no specific attack planned that is similar to 9/11. That is not the issue.
The issue is the terrorist attacks against Israelis, both abroad, in Israel, and within Israel itself.
We have indications that Iranian proxy forces, particularly Hamas and Hezbollah, are planning attacks against us before the elections.

🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Britain:

We provided the British with information about an impending attack, an attack backed by Iran, and almost the very next day, they imposed sanctions on us.
So, it's really quite bizarre. My point is that surrendering and collapsing in the face of the Islamist-Marxist coalition is extremely dangerous for the future of the West.

🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Iran:

Look, we are simply in their way. We are the obstacle preventing them from conquering the entire Middle East, but the main target, you, America, are.
That's why they chant slogans – they call us the "small devil" and you the "big devil," and they are seeking to eliminate the "big devil."

🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Iran:

It's no secret that Iran wants to target Israelis abroad, and it wants to target Israel here. We know this.
And in fact, we are seeing signs, not only from them, but from their proxy forces, that they are interested in carrying out attacks, certainly from Hamas and Hezbollah, right before the elections. We have clear evidence of this.
But I think we don't yet know whether this is being done as part of that plan or not.

Shota Moussaev is another hero in the chain of miracles that occurred on the Dubai flight.

Shota, an Israeli dentist, was the only doctor on the plane. He was one of the three passengers who rushed to the cockpit and subdued the terrorist. They used the headphone cables to tie up the attacker.

Then, Shota stopped the bleeding of Captain "Smith Machhar," who had suffered serious injuries.

According to Saudi doctors, if it weren't for Shota's actions, the captain would have lost his life.

Israeli Foreign Minister:
I spoke with my friend, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates.

In this warm conversation, we reaffirmed our mutual commitment to strengthening relations between our two countries at all levels, and to cooperating against extremist elements that seek to harm security and undermine stability in the region.

I informed my Emirati counterpart about the return of Israeli travelers. He expressed his satisfaction that all Israeli travelers had returned safely to their country.

To the so called Palestinian terrorists

Japan and Germany got totally destroyed in WW2.

But their kids didn’t become terrorists.

Stop making excuses for yours.

Trump: "Now, I have to make a decision. Either Iran signs the agreement, or it will cease to exist."

Statements by President Trump regarding Iran:

Iran should not have nuclear weapons, and they will not have them, and they have agreed that they will not have those weapons.

Reporter: If it is determined that Iran was behind this attack on the plane, will you seek revenge? Will the United States seek revenge?

Trump: They will be severely punished, don't worry. Ask them, they know what will happen.

Reporter: What about Iranian proxies, such as Hezbollah?

Trump: The fate of these proxies will be the same as the fate of Iran.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated that the incident involving the FlyDubai plane is linked to Iran and confirmed it.

In response to a question about whether Iran was involved in the FlyDubai plane incident, Trump said: "In my opinion, based on the information I have, yes, but we are currently working on this."

Peter Doocy from Fox News: Could this pilot [on the flydubai flight] have been appointed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) [a terrorist organization], or perhaps radicalized in some way, and then attempted to shoot down the plane?

Trump: It's possible, yes.

🇺🇸Donald Trump:

"I said it would take 4 to 6 weeks to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat, but I did it in one night. The remaining time was to ensure that this threat would not return."

Channel 14, Israel:

There is a possibility of Iranian involvement in the flight from Dubai. We have not yet reached a stage where we can determine who is behind this attempt to attack.

Channel 14, Israel:

"This operation was designed to achieve three goals: to kill a large number of Israelis, to damage our relations with the United Arab Emirates, and to harm the United Arab Emirates itself."
