A FlyDubai flight carrying Israeli passengers made an unexpected emergency landing in Karachi, Pakistan, on July 10, 2024, sparking a diplomatic row between the two countries.
The flight, which was en route from Dubai to Sri Lanka, was forced to divert to Karachi after experiencing a technical issue. On board were two Israeli citizens, which caused concern as Israel and Pakistan do not have diplomatic relations and Israelis are generally banned from entering Pakistan.
