It was announced that more than 1,200 flight personnel from countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv entered Israel.

In the news of Channel 12 television broadcasting in Israel, it was stated that the incident on the Flydubai plane flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv was discussed in today's session of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Israeli Parliament.

It was reported to the committee that more than 1,200 civilian flight crew members, who are citizens of countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Israel, have entered the country since the beginning of the year.

In the news reflected in the Israeli press, it was stated that Syria, Lebanon and Oman were among the countries in question.

On the other hand, Channel 12 reported that a delegation from the Israeli Ministry of Transport and Israeli security officials will go to Dubai next week to discuss the launch of civilian flights with the UAE.

It was revealed that Israel received the list of passengers and crew on the Flydubai plane flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv 2 days in advance. It was reported that the co-pilot, an Omani citizen, who allegedly tried to deliberately crash the Flydubai plane, was also on the list.

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

In addition, 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.

Transport Minister Miri Regev, on the other hand, argued that the responsibility for controlling foreign flight crews belonged to the security forces, not the ministry.

What happened?

Israeli media had announced that the plane departing from Dubai to Tel Aviv sent first the general emergency code "7700" and then the code "7500", indicating that the plane had been hijacked, while it was sailing in Jordanian airspace.

Channel 12 television stated that the incident was caused by a fight between the two pilots flying the passenger plane, and claimed that the co-pilot on the plane tried to crash the plane by stabbing the captain pilot.

The news report claimed that the co-pilot, who was claimed to be an Omani citizen, stabbed the captain pilot several times, and it was claimed that the cabin crew and some passengers entered the cockpit and interfered with the co-pilot.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that "there were signs that one of the pilots attempted to crash the plane", UAE-owned airline Flydubai reported that the cause of the fight in the cockpit of the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight was unclear.

In its statement, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Saudi Arabia stated that in the first investigation conducted with the participation of a security team from the UAE, it was determined that the co-pilot attacked the pilot and both of them were injured in the incident.

It was noted that after the completion of their treatment, the pilot and co-pilot left Saudi Arabia for Abu Dhabi, accompanied by the UAE security team.
