Scroll · world

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has leveraged a recent Flydubai incident to enhance his image ahead of the country's general election. The apparent hijacking attempt, involving 170 mostly Israeli passengers, served as a reminder of ongoing threats. Netanyahu had previously released a video warning of potential harm to Israelis, which his opponents initially dismissed as a political stunt. However, the incident has now shifted focus towards security concerns, potentially benefiting Netanyahu's campaign.
