Flydubai Security Lapse: Who Was Responsible For Vetting The Omani Co-Pilot?

The Flydubai FZ1073 cockpit attack has triggered questions over a major security gap in Israel's vetting of foreign airline crews. While passengers reportedly fought back and helped prevent a larger tragedy, conflicting claims have emerged between Transportation Minister Miri Regev and the Shin Bet over who was responsible for screening foreign-flight crews and passenger information. With officials acknowledging limitations in security checks and opposition leaders demanding Regev's resignation, the controversy could also create political pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
