An Air Seychelles jet with at least 128 Israelis on board became the first direct passenger flight from Saudi Arabia to Israel on Tuesday when it brought home passengers who spent the night in Jeddah after their flight was forced to land due to electrical problems.

"When they announced on the flight that we were landing in Saudi Arabia, it was really scary," said passenger Sharon Licht-Patren to Kan. "It wasn't clear what would happen. Every now and then, the captain updated us that they were in contact with the Foreign Ministry and the authorities and that there still wasn't approval to get off the plane."

"The moment it was decided that we were staying here, they received us very nicely," she said. "Everyone smiled and went out of their way to help, accompanying us to the hotel and arranging for rooms for everyone."

2nd story in a week.
An Emirates flight from Singapore to Dubai had to land in Malaysia due to bad weather. 12 Israelis were on board, but didn’t have to deplane. The plane took off 5 hours later.

Flydubai had emergency landing in teheran couple months back with israeli soldier on board and turkish also did with multiple israelis on board
no big deal it would be real disservice if they dragged people of plane to be arrested
just a rainy day story

Totally pre-arranged between Israel and saudia to get people used to normalization

At least their arrangements work out better than Putin’s pre-arranged flight plans R”L…
