How did the American ambassador to Israel comment on the "Fly Dubai" incident?

- The American ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, commented on the incident that occurred on Wednesday morning, which involved the rerouting of a Fly Dubai flight heading to Tel Aviv. Huckabee noted that Israeli passengers on board the plane "helped subdue the co-pilot who apparently attempted to take control of the aircraft."

Huckabee wrote on X platform that the incident could have been "horrific," but everyone is safe, adding that the details are still unclear at this stage. In a related context, Israeli sources informed Ofoq News that they suspect the co-pilot attempted to hijack the plane after stabbing the captain, forcing it to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

A spokesperson for Fly Dubai stated earlier on Wednesday that flight number FZ 1073 "experienced an incident during the flight" and landed at Tabuk Airport in northwestern Saudi Arabia, confirming that all passengers are fine and safe.
