  "summary": "Israel is investigating whether the stabbing of a FlyDubai pilot by his co-pilot during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv constitutes an attempted terror attack. The incident, which forced the plane to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, has sparked renewed diplomatic efforts between Israel and Gulf nations, as tensions persist over the Iran conflict and the October 7 Hamas attacks. Passengers reportedly took control of the cockpit and thwarted the attacker, who authorities suspect was attempting to crash the aircraft.",
