Bennett: 'Direct line' connects flydubai attempted hijacking, Oct. 7 after gov. trades blame
This comes after Transportation Minister Miri Regev denied that her agency was responsible for vetting the crew for foreign airlines, despite a 2023 that stipulates as such.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett linked the October 7 massacre to the flydubai attempted hijacking in a statement on Sunday. Transportation Minister Miri Regev refused to take responsibility for the incident, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assigning her ministry the task of conducting intelligence background checks on foreign airline pilots.
Bennett accused Netanyahu and his ministers of being negligent, stating that they "abandoned us and Israel's security." He called for an investigation and lessons to be learned to prevent future disasters, urging Israelis to vote out Netanyahu in the upcoming elections. Former Transportation Minister Keren Turner-Eyal joined Bennett, directly blaming Regev for the incident, stating that she chose to ignore a severe State Comptroller's report and endanger lives.
