Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the head of the National Security Council, Shmuel Ben Ezra, to appoint an examiner to conduct a thorough review of all security aspects of foreign civilian aviation to Israel, the Prime Minister's Office said Sunday evening.
Following the recent security breach on a Flydubai flight that exposed vulnerabilities in aviation security protocols, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a comprehensive review of all security aspects of foreign civilian aviation heading to Israel. The directive tasks National Security Council head Shmuel Ben Ezra with appointing an examiner for a thorough investigation. The move signals an effort to tighten security measures for foreign airlines operating to and from Israel. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the Flydubai incident involved an Omani co-pilot who allegedly attempted to crash the aircraft, prompting questions about screening procedures for foreign flight crew. The review is expected to cover both ground and in-flight security gaps for civilian aviation entering Israeli airspace.
