Israeli officials were caught off guard when Riyadh refused to approve a civilian rescue flight out of Saudi Arabia, per i24NEWS correspondent Amichai Stein. Political and security figures had been confident the Saudis would agree. El Al submitted a proposal, so did the Israeli Air Force, and an unmarked aircraft was floated as an option. All were turned down. The stranded Israelis ultimately flew out on a FlyDubai flight.
