Did additional crew members know in advance about the terrorist's intentions on the terror flight?

Shlomo Peretz, a strategic consultant for defense industries, raised serious suspicions in an interview with Tal Meir that additional crew members on the terror flight from Dubai knew in advance about the terrorist's intentions. Peretz revealed that passenger testimonies indicate the crew tried to prevent Israelis from accessing the cockpit after the terrorist was neutralized, and even demanded his release. The investigation, in cooperation with the Mossad, is also examining the screening failures that allowed a radical pilot expelled from Oman to join an airline in the Emirates.

Shlomo Peretz, a strategic consultant for defense industries, raised serious suspicions in an interview with Tal Meir on the program "Israel This Morning" that additional crew members on the terror flight from Dubai knew in advance about the terrorist's intentions. Peretz revealed that testimonies from Israeli passengers who returned from the flight indicate concerning behavior by the crew after the terrorist was neutralized in the cockpit: the crew demanded the release of the terrorist, and the passengers firmly refused. Additionally, the crew tried to prevent Israelis from accessing the cockpit. Peretz noted that the investigation, in cooperation with the Mossad, is also examining the severe screening failures that allowed a pilot expelled from Oman due to affiliation with radical and jihadist elements to be hired by an airline in the Emirates and even to have visited Israel in the past. The article quotes Peretz saying there may be further investigations against crew members. The framing relies on a single source (Peretz) and raises serious allegations without independent evidence.
