  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a Flydubai flight that was diverted after the co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain mid-flight. According to Trump, Netanyahu told him about the incident, but Trump did not provide further details.\n\nThe incident occurred on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, which was diverted to Saudi Arabia after the co-pilot's attempt to crash the plane was foiled by passengers and crew. The co-pilot allegedly stabbed the pilot, causing the jet to plunge nearly 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds.\n\nBenjamin Netanyahu said Israel will investigate the incident and \"get to the root\" of the attack, including whether the co-pilot had accomplices or if Iran was involved. The co-pilot is being investigated in Saudi Arabia and may be taken to the United Arab Emirates.",
