Is there a plumber in the house?

Israel has an unlikely new Sєx symbol – and it’s a virtual promised land for plumbers.

After the hijacked flydubai flight by a sicko suspected terrorist pilot miraculously averted disaster, details emerged about the group of brave Israelis who saved the day, including Yaniv Hayoun.

Hayoun, a plumber, put the Omani co-pilot accused of trying to butcher the pilot, in a headlock, pulled him from the captain’s chair, and then grabbed the controls, managing to stabilize the nosediving plane using techniques he learned from the TV show “Air Disasters.”

The stunning act of heroism has left a rattled country in awe – and for some singles, intrigued.

Israeli women are looking at plumbers in a whole new light, hoping one can prevent them from flushing their love lives down the toilet.

“I want a plumber, baby,” Pasadena native Chaya Lev, who’s been living in Israel for the past decade, told The Post. “They’re not afraid of anything — I’m obsessed – that’s the man I want.”

Who needs the dating app Grindr when all women really want is “Plungr”?

“It’s about being a man who knows how to step up,” said the 52-year-old social media personality.

“Who doesn’t want a man who can break into the cockpit and save the plane, after watching a TV show?” she cried. “It’s Sєxy.”

But for the Pasadena native who now calls Israel home, it’s “more than being a plumber – you have to be an alpha male who knows when to hold him and fold him.

“Israelis are just built differently.”

And Israeli men are taking note – hoping to plumb a besotted woman’s heart.

Popular culinary personality Rami Tal, who moved to Tel Aviv from Australia, has been enjoying fame with his show “Cooking with Rami.”

But the transplant – a local heartthrob who’s single – insisted he may be changing tactics to prevent his love life from going down the drain.

“I’m considering changing my page to ‘Plumbing with Rami’ out of admiration and respect for the hero who saved everyone,” the Aussie chef told The Post.

No Israeli plumber calendar is available yet, but women say that’s just a matter of time.

Even President Trump appeared to have a bromance with hero plumber Hayoun. “You like me and I like you,” the president gushed on a video posted to TikTok.

“He is a Trump fan. I am a fan of his, a big fan,” Trump said.

“Plumbers are H๏τ, Israeli men are H๏τ,” American-Israeli Sivan Hadari told The Post.
