Arabia Saudită a refuzat trimiterea unor avioane israeliene pentru repatrierea pasagerilor cursei FlyDubai

Saudi Arabia has rejected multiple Israeli requests to send planes for the repatriation of passengers from a redirected Flydubai flight. Discussions occurred through the UAE, not directly with Israel. The flight made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia following a reported jihadist attack attempt. Saudi Arabia stated it fulfilled its international obligations by receiving passengers, regardless of nationality. No direct flights are typically allowed between Israel and Saudi Arabia, although the latter permits Israeli flights to cross its airspace. Negotiations for closer ties with Israel were suspended after the recent Gaza conflict, with Saudi Arabia emphasizing the need for a credible Palestinian state process before recognizing Israel.
