What was the motive of the attacker, the flight’s unnamed co-pilot, who stabbed the captain before being overpowered? What were the aims of his attack? And yet, in contrast to the ambiguity that still exists, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – amidst his appearances greeting returning passengers – has been quick to frame the attack as the almost inevitable outcome of the “pro
