Netanyahu: I spoke with one of the Israeli passengers. He told me that somehow he managed to break into the cockpit with one of the crew members, and together they subdued the pilot who carried out the stabbing while he was trying to sabotage the plane's systems. Another flight crew member entered the cockpit and was able to stabilize the aircraft.

I salute these heroes who displayed extraordinary resourcefulness and courage. They saved many lives and prevented a terrible disaster.
