Saudi authorities provided essential support to passengers aboard a Flydubai aircraft after an attempted hijacking occurred. The kingdom facilitated the plane's landing, offered medical assistance, and supplied food to those on board. Behind the scenes, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad maintained communication with Saudi officials to manage the situation. However, Riyadh declined a request from the Israeli Air Force to dispatch a rescue aircraft to the site. Saudi leadership sought to prevent any public perception of diplomatic normalization with Israel, preferring to handle the logistics of the emergency response independently while coordinating discreetly with Israeli counterparts to ensure the safety of the travelers involved.
