Multiple Fronts: Israel Confronts a New Wave of Security Threats
Israeli passengers had just seconds to stop a passenger jet from becoming a weapon, and new details reveal just how close Flight 1073 may have come to catastrophe.
In this episode, Josh Hasten and Alex Traiman break down the extraordinary FlyDubai drama, including how an Israeli plumber with no flying experience helped pull the aircraft out of a terrifying freefall after passengers subdued the alleged attacker. They also examine the unanswered security questions surrounding the flight, a suspected terror plot targeting a U.S. airbase in Britain and reports of a secret regional security meeting involving Israel and several Arab states. Plus, they tackle the IDF’s new claims about Gaza journalists with alleged terror ties and, three years after October 7, the battle over what went wrong, what Israel accomplished afterward and why the fight over the war’s legacy is only beginning.
