A flight attendant for the Irish Airlines (Ryanair) angered the Israelis who were on board a plane heading to Lod "Ben Gurion" airport in Tel Aviv.

According to the Hebrew Channel 7, the flight attendant said, during a flight coming from Italy, towards the airport, that "the plane will land soon in Palestine."

According to passengers on the plane, the flight attendant repeated her words in English and Italian, and the passengers asked her to apologize for that, but she refused and repeated it several times, and said again: "All passengers must return to their seats because the plane is about to land in Tel Aviv, occupied Palestine."

The CEO of the company, Eddie Wilson, announced his apology later in a statement published by the company about what happened.
