The claim that the Israeli Ministry of Transport and Mossad targeted the Flydubai plane came to the fore with the claim that the Omani citizen co-pilot was on the list.

In the news in Haaretz newspaper, it was stated that the Israeli Ministry of Transport and the foreign intelligence service Mossad had previously received the list, which included the co-pilot, an Omani citizen, who allegedly tried to deliberately crash the Flydubai plane.

In the news, it was stated that the passenger and crew lists reported by airline companies to the countries include the full names and citizenship information of the people, and it was pointed out that it should be clearly seen in the list that the co-pilot is an Omani citizen.

ISRAELI MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION IS SILENT AGAINST QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FLYDUBAI INCIDENT

While the Israeli Tax Administration admitted that it had received the list of passengers and crew of the Flydubai plane, the Ministry of Transport did not respond to questions about whether the lists in question had been received and examined.

Israeli security sources informed that the institutions responsible for examining foreign airline crews landing in the country are the Ministry of Transport and the foreign intelligence service Mossad.

Stating that the responsibility belongs to the Ministry of Transport on paper, security sources emphasized that the Ministry does not have the ability to carry out such an investigation, but Mossad or Shin-Bet have the intelligence capacity in question.

In the written statement made by the Israeli domestic intelligence service Shin-Bet (Shabak), it was stated that the institution is only responsible for the security of Israeli airline companies and Ben-Gurion Airport, and that the inspection of foreign airline companies is not within its scope of responsibility.

OMANI PILOTS ARE FORBIDDEN TO FLY TO ISRAEL

The agreement made for Flydubai to use Israeli airspace requires all pilots serving on flights to be citizens of countries that have normalized relations with Israel. Oman is not among these countries.

While the claim that the co-pilot is Omani raises questions, The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported that Israeli officials said, "This situation is a clear violation of the agreement and Shabak should immediately investigate the issue." he said.

The newspaper noted that for this reason, Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev appealed to Shabak and requested the immediate suspension of all Flydubai flights landing and taking off from Israel.
