The 21-year-old, who holds dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to a felony count of conveying false information of a threat targeting an airplane.

He faces from probation to five years in prison at sentencing Jan. 29.

His lawyer, Donald Etra, said  that his client “apologizes to the passengers of JetBlue” who were delayed for about one hour while bomb-sniffing dogs searched the plane.

“This was a momentary gross lapse in judgment,” Etra said.
