Emirates flight 354 destined for Singapore from Dubai with 12 Israeli citizens on board made an unplanned landing in Malaysia on Wednesday morning, according to Israel's Foreign Ministry.
The emergency landing was reportedly due to severe weather conditions.
The Foreign Ministry has been in contact with the airline to ensure the safety of the Israeli citizens as Israel has no diplomatic relationship with Malaysia.
"The Foreign Ministry will continue to act in the best interests of the Israeli citizen in exceptional cases like this," said Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.
According to the ministry, passengers were not required to deplane and the flight took off for Singapore after about five hours in Malaysia.
