According to France 24, the incident allegedly involved the flight’s co-pilot, who was accused of stabbing the captain during the journey. The detail is not corroborated by the other sources provided.
Netanyahu’s warning is phrased conditionally: the response would be directed at any country or organization found to be responsible for the incident, not at a party already publicly identified.
France 24 also reports that Netanyahu claimed the co-pilot had undergone a process of Islamist radicalization. However, the information remains an allegation by the prime minister and not an independent finding reported in the available material.
The same broadcaster reports that the motive for the incident was not yet clear. Based on the information provided, it is therefore not possible to establish why the altercation on board the aircraft allegedly occurred.
The reports examined discuss the possibility of external responsibility in conditional terms, but do not identify a country or organization as the instigator or responsible party. This does not rule out the possibility that further evidence could emerge outside the material available here.
The episode therefore combines an especially harsh threat of retaliation with an investigation that remains incomplete. The co-pilot’s identity has not been established in the information provided, and both the question of motive and that of any possible external coordination remain open.
The three reports provided agree on the warning issued by Netanyahu on October 2, 2026, while the France 24 report adds details about the altercation on board and the alleged radicalization. These latter elements are reported with attribution and do not appear to have been independently confirmed by the other sources.
