Occupation state bans 29 nationalities from its airline crews
Israeli occupation authorities have imposed new restrictions on crew members holding dual nationalities from 29 countries, including prohibiting employment on flights headed to Israel if the crew member possesses an additional nationality from any of these countries. This measure aims to counter attempts to threaten airline security. The move follows the thwarted attempt of an attack aboard a Fly Dubai flight in September, where Omani co-pilot Hummam Al-Hammahi was accused of trying to disable and take control of the aircraft with the intention of destroying it inside Ben Gurion Airport. However, passengers and pilots managed to intervene and prevent the attack. The list of countries includes Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, and Cuba. These measures are part of strengthened oversight of crew members with dual nationalities, especially from countries on the list, following previous instances of individuals with suspected backgrounds traveling to Tel Aviv despite suspicions regarding their backgrounds.
