In a CNN interview, Netanyahu revealed Israel will join the flydubai probe, praised heroes who averted a '9/11 disaster,' denied pre-October7 warnings, and called settler violence framing a 'hoax.

The airline's announcement follows a recommendation from the Shin Bet earlier on Wednesday to suspend flights between the UAE and Israel until the investigation progresses.

UAE aviation regulations prohibit assaults, threats, or intimidation against crew members when such conduct interferes with or impairs their ability to perform their duties.

According to the report, the information Netanyahu presented included details about new construction work at the mountainous site known as “Pickaxe Mountain,” about 140 miles south of Tehran.
