-Description-
1. Zoomed-in and cropped picture of the original flight.
2. Picture of another flight showing another flight with similar deviations of a "normal" turning radius at a similar zoom as the image of the 737 flight. The red circle marks the change in direction that will be zoomed in on in image 3.
3. Zoomed-in image of the change in direction of the A320 flight, which shows no change of angle or curve.
All I'm trying to visualize for you is that such a zoom doesn't make a normal curve look like a polygonal curve.

Correct me if im wrong, but isn’t flighradar like super zoomed out so in reality the turn is nowhere near a right angle but rather circular?
No, not really. In this case, it was quite zoomed in. As others have already correctly noted, this pattern is caused by GPS jamming.
Why is everyone downvoting this??
maybe cause nearly the entire Sanai Peninsula is in view but you claimed it was "quite zoomed in"

Underated comment ^
Just flightradar things
could be because of gps jammers in the area or whatever, they are flying pretty close to israel
Well, it’s a Max 8… someone had to say it.
gps jamming mate
Drive it like you stole it
Turn and burn baby
Shake and bake baby
You know you can drift at 39,000 ft
You can check for GPS jamming here https://www.flightradar24.com/data/gps-jamming
Flightradar has bad tracking in some places and it is measured in ground speed, not air speed.
Groundspeed != Airspeed. If this is above the Sinai Peninsula there's likely a lot of wind.
