According to experts, the attack on the Flydubai plane yesterday may help Netanyahu put aside the trouble he is experiencing in domestic politics. It is also considered that this incident may create a perception that Netanyahu's previous security warnings have been confirmed.
According to a report from the Israeli press Times of Israel, Netanyahu, who returned empty-handed after not receiving the support he expected at the United Nations General Assembly held in New York last week, may have gotten the "visibility" he needed for the prime ministerial election on October 27 with the Flydubai plane hijacked yesterday.
After the stabbing incident on Flydubai's flight FZ 1073 flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv yesterday, Netanyahu, who normally keeps his distance when trying to be held responsible for the failure, came to Ben Gurion Airport to welcome the Israelis returning home.
HE DID NOT LOSE SPEED FOR THE BODY SHOW
According to the news, Netanyahu, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for a "good image", immediately moved to the front of the frame. Netanyahu, who tightly hugged Yaniv Hayun, one of the Israelis who played a key role in preventing the attack, did not refrain from showing off his strength and emphasized the importance of sharing success in media interviews.
Hayun also stated that Netanyahu called him while the Israelis were stranded in Tabuk and promised to establish contact with Israeli security units.
'IT IS A VERY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ELECTION CAMPAIGN'
According to the report, from the perspective of Netanyahu's re-election campaign, his team could not have asked for a better event; A true, exciting story with huggable civilians and welcoming the safe return home of 174 passengers, mostly Israelis, including many children. The passengers had escaped a life-threatening incident, and the campaign had a golden opportunity to gain momentum.
In his statements following the incident, the Israeli Prime Minister associated the attack with international criticism against Israel and discourses that he described as "propaganda". In his video message published on Tuesday, Netanyahu claimed that "there are signs that enemies will try to attack Israel" before the elections; The opposition described this statement as a product of "politics of fear" made without any evidence.
AIRPLANE INCIDENT INCREASED THEIR VOTES
On the other hand, it was seen that the government bloc led by Netanyahu began to close the gap between itself and the opposition wing.
The results of the latest survey conducted by Lazar Research for Maariv newspaper showed that the ruling bloc led by Netanyahu increased to 51 seats, while the opposition bloc lost 2 seats compared to last week and decreased to 53 deputies.
The newspaper reported that with the Flydubai incident, security concerns came to the fore again in Israeli society and the gap between the blocks narrowed.
According to the Israeli election system, in order to form a government, the support of at least 61 deputies in the 120-seat Israeli Parliament is required.
