UAE Shared Flydubai Crew List with Israel Before Flight, Omani Co-Pilot Cleared

Reports reveal that the UAE shared the Flydubai flight crew list with Israeli authorities before the flight. The Omani co-pilot, Hammam al-Hammami, who attempted a terror attack by attacking the Indian captain with a crash axe, was cleared despite concerns. He was banned from flying by Oman but still got a job at Flydubai. The investigation questions how he received clearance given no diplomatic ties between Israel and Oman.
