Netanyahu: Too early to determine motive behind Flydubai plane incident

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a television interview that "it is too early to discuss the motive behind the Flydubai plane incident."

Netanyahu had noted on Wednesday that an Indian pilot saved the lives of 174 Israelis on board the Flydubai flight.

An Israeli official stated that a Flydubai aircraft en route from Dubai to Israel was diverted to Tabuk in Saudi Arabia after sending emergency signals, clarifying that the incident was due to a dispute between the pilots and not a hijacking attempt.
