Better yet, have skymarshalls on board (assuming there were any) restrain the passenger and let the flight continue on to MUC, which was not that far away. An unscheduled landing is not only very disruptive to the pax on board, but it is very costly to the airline, and given EL AL's financial situation, it cannot really afford these sorts of diversions.
