Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Wednesday that a pilot on a flydubai flight bound for Israel stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to crash the aircraft. Netanyahu said an Israeli passenger told him that he and a crew member forced their way into the cockpit and subdued the pilot as he tried to sabotage the plane’s systems, and he hailed the bravery of the passengers and crew who stopped the assailant. The flight diverted and landed safely in Saudi Arabia, where the Israeli leader said the authorities are questioning the attacker. Israel is in contact with Saudi authorities to arrange the passengers’ return.
