Israel's Central Election Committee tells Netanyahu to remove campaign videos showing IDF
Committee chairman Justice Noam Solberg upheld five of six petitions filed against Netanyahu over his recent social media posts
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has initiated a security review of international flights heading to Israel following a recent incident. The Flydubai flight from Dubai, carrying 180 passengers mostly Israeli, made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on September 30th after its Omani co-pilot allegedly attempted to crash the plane.
Netanyahu has tasked the Head of the National Security Council, Shmuel Ben Ezra, with appointing an examiner to thoroughly investigate all security aspects of foreign civil aviation to Israel. The Israeli government is considering whether anyone may have directed the co-pilot, threatening a severe punishment for those involved. Meanwhile, a source close to the UAE government claims that the Israeli government is using the incident for political gain, according to Israeli media reports.
