All Israel News reports:
According to Jewish media reports, a nearby airport official in charge of refueling demanded written permission for the action. The passengers apparently spent hours on the plane while being denied the option to leave.
Despite their best efforts, diplomatic representatives in Israel maintained contact with Turkey officials, who apparently did not object to providing fuel but evidently a miscommunication persisted.
Irit Lilian, the Jewish ambassador to Turkey, apparently participated in the discussions with senior Turkish officials.
In the end, the injured passenger was taken to a Greek hospital while informed and accompanied by a diplomatic official.
