Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it is too early to determine the motive behind an attack aboard a flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv, in which a pilot allegedly stabbed another pilot.
The pilot accused of carrying out the attack is currently under investigation in Saudi Arabia, according to Netanyahu.
