A plane carrying Israelis home from Seychelles made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia before flying back to Tel Aviv. The Air Seychelles flight carrying 128 passengers was forced to land due to an electrical malfunction. Passengers described a scary experience as the plane made the emergency stop in a country with no diplomatic ties to Israel. Israeli officials praised the warm reception from Saudi authorities. The incident highlights the potential for improved ties between the two countries as Washington works to establish formal relations.
