Recognition of Israel: The Mysterious Flight That Could Shake the Middle East

IIn a private jet of the type Gulfstream IV / SP, the arrangement of the seats follows the wishes of the customer. The machine can accommodate a maximum of 16 people. More popular, however, is a loose arrangement with four club chairs in the front part of the cabin, a two-seater divan in the middle and a conference area with four seats at the very back. Then there is also a small bar that fits into the cabin. How exactly the Israeli entrepreneur Ehud Angel set up his Gulfstream is not known.

On the other hand, it is more or less certain that the machine with the identification T7-CPX flew south in Tel Aviv at around 5 p.m. last Sunday, along the coast of the Red Sea, and then turned east just before the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, over the open Sea to Saudi Arabia. This is how international flight data services have recorded it.

The alleged passengers are only known from the Israeli press: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his military adviser Avi Bluth, security advisor Meir Ben-Shabbath and Mossad boss Jossi Cohen. On the way to a meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, together with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. If the reports are correct, it would have been a historic encounter.
