In this instance, the need of the hour is to strengthen communication, he added.
Attacks on Israel are not new and the country will strengthen security measures, Israely Ambassador Reuven Azar said when asked about the flydubai plane attack.
“What terrorists are trying to do is to always find cracks in the system and our job is to narrow those gaps,” he said in an exclusive interview with NDTV on the third anniversary of the October 7 attack.
“We have no alternative but to work together, as much as governments… So the fact that they didn’t share it, or if they did share it, who did get the information – all these things have to be investigated so we can draw the lessons, maybe increase the cooperation,” he added. “We have intelligence channels almost with all the countries in the region, and that includes Oman.
Because apparently this information was already there in the hands of the Omani government. Because this was not just an attempt to kill Israelis, he said, israel, he said, is looking into all of that,.
Asked how the communication can progress in absence of diplomatic relations between Israel and Oman, which is investigating the matter, Azar said there are other channels of communication. So when there is a will, there is a way,” he said. And even where the will is not there, it is the responsibility of the Israeli government and its security agencies to do their job, he said. “This was an attack on the heart of the Abraham Accords,” he added, refering to the US-brokered agreements signed in 2020 that established formal diplomatic, economic, and security ties between Israel and several Arab nations.
