The Flydubai plane plunged more than 17,000ft (5,200m) two hours into its journey on Wednesday, before passengers and crew overpowered the attacker and retook control to land safely. Speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu also said it was looking "very likely" that the attacker, who he said was an Omani national, "was going to down the plane".

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) state news agency reports investigations have begun there to determine "whether the incident was linked to any terrorist activity or purpose".

Passenger Almog Itali said it felt like a "rollercoaster" as Flight FZ1073 fell 17,000ft in less than two minutes The co-pilot is currently being questioned in Saudi Arabia, where the plane made an emergency landing.

However UAE officials say they have jurisdiction over the incident because the aircraft on which the attack took place is registered there and flies under its flag. Netanyahu told Fox that once the attacker had been subdued and tied up by passengers and crew, he was "calling out to the aircrew 'kill me, kill me', so it's clear he was suicidal that's not a question".

"And with all the passengers in there, and if you couple that with what I just told you about the Islamist tendencies, that radicalisation that were found in his background, I think... that'll give us a pretty good clue but again I don't make final conclusions yet but that's the indications we have now."

The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Global Politics landscape. Over recent quarters, multilateral authorities and market participants have navigated mounting volatility, heightening the urgency of coordinated responses and policy alignment.
