Saudi Arabia Denies Israel Request to Retrieve Flydubai Passengers

Saudi Arabia refused Israel's request to allow Israeli military planes to enter its airspace to retrieve passengers from a Flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in Tabuk. The flight was diverted after the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and attempted to crash the plane. Passengers and crew subdued the attacker, and the plane landed safely. Flydubai has suspended flights to and from Israel during the investigation.
