Orientalist Dr. Edi Cohen presented in an interview with Dana Varon on Channel 14 the conspiracy theories circulating in the Arab world around the terror flight from Dubai. Cohen described theories according to which the Saudis and Israel did it intentionally to normalize, alongside claims that Israel or the Mossad initiated the event. He presented a video of Bassem Youssef, an Egyptian media personality, mocking the details published and casting doubt on the occurrence of the event as described. A central theory holds that Israel and Saudi Arabia coordinated the event to promote normalization. Other versions attribute it to the UAE or the Mossad. Spreaders of the theories point to the number of pilots on the plane and the lack of many casualties as "evidence" of pre-planning. Cohen assessed that the wave of publications is expected to expand, and that we will see more lies, propaganda, and fake news.
