Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeted passengers from the nearly hijacked flydubai flight Wednesday, personally meeting Yaniv Hayoun, the Israeli who subdued the copilot and helped allow the plane to land safely in Saudi Arabia.
Yaniv Hayun, a hero of FlyDubai 1073, recounts the heroism of the captain and the passengers as they subdued the terrorist.
In the background, Hebrew music plays: “Gd, may He be blessed, always loves me.”
