Saudi Arabia has refused to allow Israeli aircraft to collect stranded passengers from flydubai flight FZ1073, an Israeli official told CNN. Israel had been exploring sending either a military or civilian plane to Saudi Arabia to bring its citizens home. The refusal highlights the sensitivity of any direct Israeli operations on Saudi territory, even for humanitarian purposes.
Why now: The unusually direct clash between Saudi Arabia and Israel over stranded passengers is drawing wide attention.
