Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is accused of plotting a hijacking operation using a "false flag" scenario, involving an aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, to drag the United States into a new war with Iran.
The Iranian state television outlet Press TV reported the allegation on Thursday, October 1, citing a regional source familiar with the matter, as quoted by ANTARA.
The source said the incident involving a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday was part of that plan. The operation was discussed and agreed upon during Netanyahu's secret visit to the UAE three days before the flight incident occurred.
