澳大利亚外长黄英贤确认，两名搭乘据称在中东遭劫持的航班的澳大利亚乘客安全。
Two Australians aboard a flight allegedly hijacked in the Middle East are safe, Foreign Minister Penny Wong has confirmed.
以色列总理内塔尼亚胡表示，FlyDubai航班FZ1073于周三从阿拉伯联合酋长国飞往以色列途中，一名飞行员刺伤了另一名飞行员，并“似乎试图让飞机坠毁”。
FlyDubai flight FZ1073 was en route from the United Arab Emirates to Israel on Wednesday when one pilot stabbed the other and “apparently tried to crash the plane”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
他称，一名乘客和一名机组人员冲进驾驶舱、制服那名飞行员后，航班改道飞往沙特阿拉伯。
He said the flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia after a passenger and crew member broke into the cabin and overpowered the pilot.
黄英贤参议员周四在社交媒体上发帖称：“很欣慰地确认，至少两名乘坐FlyDubai飞往以色列航班的澳大利亚人安然无恙。感谢挫败这次袭击并帮助乘客安全撤离的英雄。我们惦记着伤者，希望他们早日完全康复。”
“Relieved to confirm at least two Australians who were on the FlyDubai flight to Israel are safe – thanks to the heroes who thwarted the attack and helped bring the passengers to safety,” Senator Wong posted on social media on Thursday.
此前，《澳大利亚人报》报道两名澳大利亚人卷入此次事件，并指出他们是史蒂文和卡罗尔·莫斯。莫斯先生是已故知名商人萨姆·莫斯之子。
“We’re thinking of those injured and hope for their full recovery.”It came after The Australian reported two Australians were caught up in the incident, identifying them as Steven and Carol Moss.
萨姆·莫斯是大屠杀幸存者，也是Katies时尚连锁店的联合创始人。飞机降落后，沙特当局逮捕了疑似劫机者。
Mr Moss is the son of late prominent businessman Sam Moss — a Holocaust survivor who co-founded fashion the Katies fashion chain. Saudi authorities arrested the suspected hijacker when the plane landed.
FlyDubai呼吁“各方在当局查明事实前，避免过早作出臆测”。
FlyDubai urged “all parties to refrain from premature speculation while authorities gather the facts”.
该公司表示：“目前事件仍处于早期阶段，其根本原因和动机尚不清楚，仍需接受正式调查。”
“At this early stage, the underlying reasons and motives behind this event are unknown and remain subject to a formal investigation,” the airline said.
以色列官员此前确认，全部174名乘客（其中大多数为以色列人）已搭乘替代航班安全抵达特拉维夫。
Israeli officials earlier confirmed all 174 passengers, most of whom were Israeli, had made it to Tel Aviv safely on a replacement flight.
