Netanyahu said Israel will examine the "root" of the co-pilot's involvement in what Israeli authorities are characterizing as a foiled attempt to crash the commercial flight. The Prime Minister did not provide extensive details about the alleged incident but emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the co-pilot.
The Israeli leader indicated that his government would "possibly" take part in the broader investigation into the matter. This suggests potential coordination with international aviation authorities and other nations in determining what occurred aboard the flydubai aircraft.
The incident has drawn international attention given its sensitive nature and the involvement of a commercial flight bound for Israel. Details about the alleged crash attempt remain limited, with authorities still gathering information about the co-pilot's actions and motivations.
Netanyahu's statement signals Israel's commitment to understanding whether external actors, particularly Iran, played any role in the incident. The investigation is expected to examine both the actions of the co-pilot and any potential coordination or influence from other parties in the alleged plot.
