An attempted attack on Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Israel exposes cracks in the Abraham Accords. An Omani pilot employed by an Emirati company is suspected of attempting to murder 170 Israelis. Reporter Mati Tuchfeld claims the incident proves that the UAE still allows the presence of hostile elements to Israel on its soil, and suggests strengthening the security conditions of the accords.

An attempted attack on Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Israel exposes cracks in the Abraham Accords, according to a report by Mati Tuchfeld, head of the political desk of Channel 14. An Omani pilot employed by an Emirati company is suspected of attempting to murder 170 Israelis. The report notes that alongside important diplomatic and economic ties, hostile elements still operate in the area and raise questions about the level of trust and security cooperation. Tuchfeld claims that the UAE, out of economic interests, still allows the presence, funding, and movement of elements identified with the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey, and hostile axes to Israel. He mentions the murder of Chabad emissary Rabbi Zvi Kogan in Dubai by an Iranian terror cell as a previous incident. The political conclusion he offers is not to cancel the accords but to strengthen their security conditions, so that every flight to Israel will be secured by Israel with a crew that has undergone Israeli security clearance.
