Hamam Al-Hammami, a 29-year-old flydubai co-pilot accused of attempting to hijack a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30 by attacking the pilot, had previously posted misogynistic content online referring to women as "rotten flesh." According to a Financial Times investigation into over 3,000 of his tweets, Al-Hammami frequently used sexist language and promoted violent rhetoric towards women. His account has since been disabled. The report details how he engaged with accounts promoting an extremist ideology and expressed frustration over perceived failures in online matchmaking platforms due to what he saw as women's prioritization of financial success.

Story summary
On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency over Jordanian airspace and was diverted to land at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The plane initially transmitted signals indicating possible hijacking but later reverted to general emergency codes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held urgent consultations as the incident briefly raised fears of a hijacking, prompting Israel's air force to scramble jets.
Israeli officials revealed that the diversion stemmed from a fight between the pilots rather than any security threat. The flight carried around 150 passengers, mostly Israelis, and everyone on board was reported safe after landing in Saudi Arabia.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
