What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Netanyahu’s account that one pilot stabbed the other and appeared to try to crash the Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight, forcing a diversion and landing in Saudi Arabia. CNN’s early pieces and CBS frame it more generally as a violent cockpit incident or fight between pilots, while Reuters focuses on graphic video from the plane. BBC, NPR, the Guardian, ABC, the Washington Post and others add passenger intervention or arrest details, but those specifics appear in only some extracts.
