Netanyahu Orders NSC to Probe Security of Foreign Flights

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the head of the National Security Council (NSC) to appoint an examiner to conduct a thorough review of all security aspects of foreign civil aviation, news outlets Srugim and Maariv reported.

The decision comes amid mounting fallout over foreign flight oversight and the attempted attack aboard the flydubai flight bound for Israel. According to Srugim, Netanyahu removed the inquiry into the security lapses from the Ministry of Transport and transferred authority to the NSC.

The identity of the appointed examiner and the timeline for completing the review have not yet been released.
