Transmitted below is a news item in AL-QUDS, the leading Palestinian newspaper, which reports that the co-pilot in the recent Flydubai incident has "stated during his interrogation that he sought martyrdom in defense of the Gaza Strip by attempting to crash the plane" -- a logical and believable motivation for such an action.
While all aspects of the Flydubai incident have received massive media attention, I am not currently aware of any other media (not even HAARETZ) having reported on this "confession", perhaps due to concern that others who are horrified by the Gaza genocide might be inspired by it to seek meaning in their lives (and deaths) by taking similar actions.

Co-pilot's confessions of attempting to crash a plane in revenge for Gaza spark security alert
Media reports revealed serious security details concerning Omani co-pilot Hammam Al-Hammami, who admitted during investigations to attempting to crash Flydubai flight (FZ1073). Sources clarified that Al-Hammami explicitly confessed that his primary motive behind this act was revenge for the aggression against the Gaza Strip, emphasizing his desire for martyrdom in defense of the Palestinian cause.
In a related context, the occupation's security agencies, in cooperation with security entities in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, initiated a wide-ranging intelligence coordination process to ascertain the background of the incident. These joint investigations aim to determine whether the co-pilot planned and executed his operation alone, or if he received directives and support from external parties or organizations that were overseeing his movements.
For his part, a representative from the Mossad presented a briefing to the occupation's cabinet, in which he indicated that previous visits by Al-Hammami to countries classified as 'hostile' had been monitored. Intensive scrutiny of his travel records and communications is currently underway to confirm the possibility of him being recruited or activated by external parties before he attempted to crash the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
Regarding field procedures, Emirati authorities completed the interrogation of the cabin crew who were on board the flight, with the results clearing them of any involvement in the plot. Despite the significant confusion that prevailed in the cockpit during the incident, investigations confirmed that the flight attendants had no prior knowledge of the co-pilot's intentions, at a time when extremist ministers in the occupation government demanded the perpetrator be handed over for trial in Tel Aviv.
