Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said everyone involved in the incident aboard a Flydubai flight will pay a "very high price." His remarks followed an incident in which a pilot reportedly attempted to seize control of the aircraft.
According to Netanyahu, Israel is conducting an investigation to determine whether the pilot was directed to carry out these actions by an outside party. Official details of the investigation have not yet been disclosed, and authorities have not specified what stage the inquiry into the circumstances has reached.
Investigation Continues
The Flydubai flight incident has drawn significant attention given the potential severity of an attempt to seize control of an aircraft. It remains unclear how many passengers were on board or how the situation was ultimately resolved in practice.
The prime minister's statement about a "high price" for those involved suggests Israeli authorities regard the incident as serious, warranting a firm response should specific individuals or entities be found responsible for orchestrating the attempted takeover.
Flydubai and aviation officials have not yet provided detailed public comments on the progress of the investigation. Further information is expected as the inquiry into the incident advances.
