Israel-bound plane diverted after co-pilot stabs captain
Today 01:08Key points summarised by AI
A co-pilot on a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane, leading to a severe security incident with over 170 Israelis on board.
Passengers and other pilots on the flight bravely intervened, subduing the co-pilot and safely landing the aircraft in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, preventing a major disaster.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed all passengers were safe, the co-pilot (identified as an Omani national) was arrested, and a joint investigation with the defense establishment is underway.
The incident prompted Netanyahu to order tighter security measures for all flights into Israel, highlighting heightened security fears weeks before an Israeli election.
New Swedish PM resigns on first day in job, hopes for swift return
Today 05:03Key points summarised by AI
Magdalena Andersson, Sweden's first female Prime Minister, resigned less than 12 hours into her tenure.
Her resignation was prompted by the Green Party's withdrawal from the coalition government after parliament rejected their budget bill.
Andersson quickly announced her intention to return as Prime Minister, leading a single-party Social Democrat government, with crucial support from other parties aiming to block the populist Sweden Democrats.
The political turmoil unfolds as Sweden grapples with significant challenges, including gang violence, pandemic recovery, and climate targets, ahead of a national election in September.
