Pilot stabbed on Israel-bound flight

A commercial flight travelling from Dubai to Israel was forced

to make an emergency landing

after an apparent brawl between its pilots.

The flydubai flight was in Jordanian airspace when it diverted to Saudi Arabia,

after the plane fell 16,000ft in two minutes during the incident,

which raised fears of an attempted hijacking.

Authorities are investigating a number of lines of inquiry

including a hijacking attempt or a mental health incident.

Why is Israel so afraid of the film NAZA?

We spoke to its directors

Why is Israel so afraid of the film NAZA? We spoke to its directors

video    The Guardian    Stateside podcast    29 September 2026

When NAZA premiered at Venice earlier this month,

it sent shockwaves across the globe.

Composed of interviews with 24 anonymous Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers,

NAZA is a haunting exposé of the tools

that the Israeli military uses to carry out the remote killing of Palestinians in Gaza

– including AI, mass surveillance,

and devastating airstrikes that kill civilians and raze homes.

Now,

the Israeli government is treating NAZA like a national security crisis.

Benjamin Netanyahu is even pushing for legislation

that could strip the film's two directors of their Israeli citizenship.

Host Carter Sherman speaks with the directors of NAZA,

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor,

in one of their first interviews with an American journalist.

The film,

which was produced by the Guardian,

will open in New York on September 30th

and will play in theaters across the US starting October 9th.

It will also stream, for free,

on the Guardian website in November.
