The report that was on the table for two years: "What happened in Fly Dubai was already warned about"
Reporter Anna Barsky revealed on Radio North 104.5FM that the security check of foreign flights ordered by Netanyahu was already conducted two years ago in a State Comptroller report by Matanyahu Englman. The report warned of a failure in coordination between bodies, but its recommendations were not implemented. An information center on aircrew members has existed for two years, but no security body has approached it.
Political reporter for 'Maariv', Anna Barsky, revealed on Gadi Ness's program on Radio North 104.5FM that Prime Minister Netanyahu's directive to conduct a review of foreign flight security systems to Israel is actually a recommendation already written in a State Comptroller report by Matanyahu Englman over two years ago. According to her, the report, most of which is classified and confidential, found a failure in communication between the bodies and ministries. It was also revealed that an information center on every aircrew member arriving in the country has existed for two years, and it is under the Tax Authority in the Ministry of Finance. However, Barsky emphasized that none of the report's recommendations were implemented, and no security body approached the information center to check which pilots are entering Israel. She addressed Liberman's call to fire the Shin Bet head following the Fly Dubai failure, noting that the field of foreign flight security is not under Shin Bet's responsibility but is overseen by the Mossad. In conclusion, she noted that the report has been on the Prime Minister's desk for two years, and all that was needed was to listen to the State Comptroller who recommended enhancing efforts and synergy between the ministries.
