Saudi Arabia Declines Israeli Request After Fly Dubai Incident

Israel had been considering sending a military or civilian plane to repatriate the passengers, but the lack of diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia prevented that. Prior to 2022, the ban on Saudi airspace hampered Israeli flights headed to Israel, but the ban was recently lifted, with Saudi airport companies coordinating to develop an alternative plan following the incident.
