  "account": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a comprehensive security review of all international flights to Israel following an attempted crash by an Omani co-pilot on a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, saw the co-pilot stab the Indian captain before attempting to crash the aircraft. The Israeli media reports that pilots from countries hostile to Israel have repeatedly flown into Israel in recent years, raising concerns about security protocols. Transport Minister Miri Regev has denied responsibility for the security lapse, stating that it falls under the purview of the Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence agencies. A 2024 state comptroller's report found no clear division of responsibility for the security of foreign airlines operating in Israel. Opposition leaders, including Keren Terner and Yair Lapid, have criticized the government's handling of the situation, with Lapid dismissing the security review as a \"sham investigation.\"",
  "summary": "Calls have mounted for an investigation into the security lapse that allowed an Omani co-pilot to attempt to crash the Israel-bound plane.",
