UAE is in devastating trouble.
Israel and UAE relations are on the verge of an ugly collapse.
It is now confirmed that FlyDubai Flight FZ1073 was a planned terrorist attack.
The Omani suicidal pilot, Hamam Alhamami, was most likely recruited by Al Qaeda.
He met 7 religious figures on different occasions in the months before the hijacking.
He also spent much of his time in Syria with extremist groups.
In 2004, Oman Air found disturbing evidence of his religious extremism.
He was then transferred to an administrative position.
But he was fired from that role as well after he was found guilty of visiting radical extremist websites.
He then completed a 3 month theoretical course at Royal Air Maroc.
Royal Air Maroc did not hire him after conducting a background check.
This is when he moved to Dubai.
Oman Air warned FlyDubai that he was a security risk.
FlyDubai still ended up hiring him.
The checks only looked for criminal convictions.
FlyDubai did not consider radicalization an offense.
Israel is furious with the UAE over this negligence.
The main objective on September 30 was to crash the plane into a building in 9/11 style.
Minutes before the final act, Hamam Alhamami recited a three minute prayer.
Then when the mission failed, he begged the passengers to kill him.
Passengers and eyewitnesses, including Netanyahu, claimed the pilot had a prohibited knife.
But now the UAE prosecutor general completely denies this.
She contradicts the eyewitness accounts and claims it was the emergency crash axe.
Shin Bet, Mossad and the Transportation Ministry all suspect that more people may have been involved.
They're completely disappointed with the UAE.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Ben Gvir have publicly called for the extradition of the suicidal pilot.
But the UAE refuses to send him to Israel.
Ben Gvir has now raised the issue with the security cabinet and urged the Justice Ministry to intervene.
Suspicions are growing that several individuals within the UAE may have assisted the pilot with his mission.
Al Qaeda may have also recruited more pilots across several airlines in the UAE.
Hamam Alhamami may not be the last.
