Almog Boker, senior N12 correspondent, posted a commentary arguing the Indian pilot's detailed recreation of the Flydubai cockpit attack may be more readily believed by international outlets and skeptical Israeli audiences than Israeli eyewitness reports. He suggested the foreign source could lend credibility to the story of Israeli passengers who subdued the attacker.
In a post on Friday morning, Almog Boker urged audiences to listen to the Indian pilot's account of the Flydubai cockpit attack that occurred on Wednesday. The pilot described the dramatic moments in which he and Israeli passengers helped save the captain and prevent a disaster. Boker argued that because the account comes from a non-Israeli hero, it may gain more traction with international media outlets such as The New York Times and with segments of the Israeli public skeptical of Israeli eyewitness reports. The commentary reflects ongoing discourse about the credibility of testimony after the incident.
