Dubai-to-Israel flight diverted to Saudi Arabia after distress call
Original: A commercial plane traveling from Dubai to Israel is diverted to Saudi Arabia after a distress call
A commercial flight traveling from Dubai to Israel was diverted to Saudi Arabia after the crew issued a distress call, according to news reports. The unscheduled landing is notable given the two countries have no formal diplomatic ties, and details about the nature of the emergency and the passengers' status have not been confirmed.
Why now: An emergency diversion landing in Saudi Arabia on a Dubai-Israel route is rare given the lack of formal Saudi-Israeli relations.
