Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a comprehensive security review of all international flights to Israel after an Omani co-pilot reportedly attempted to crash a FlyDubai flight from Dubai (Arab News, October 4).
## Details
The incident involved an alleged cockpit attack by an Omani co-pilot on a flight bound for Israel. Netanyahu's office ordered the review in direct response (Arab News, October 4).

## Why it matters
The review signals heightened Israeli concern over aviation security amid a volatile regional security environment, with potential Iran linkages under investigation. Any policy changes — e.g., new screening requirements, airline restrictions, or diplomatic friction with Gulf carriers — could affect regional aviation and Israel-Gulf relations.
