The plane carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Florida for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump passed through the airspace of three countries that are parties to the International Criminal Court, despite an active ICC arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.
Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 showed Netanyahu’s aircraft, known as “Wings of Zion,” crossed the airspace of Greece, Italy and France before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
All three countries are signatories to the Rome Statute, which obliges member states to cooperate with ICC arrest warrants.

What are they going to do? Shooting down the plane is a great way to start a war
Israel is not an idiot to start a war with nato. If a country can’t do it obligation it should widthraw from the ICC
This isn’t mild. Please post to the correct community next time.
Thanks for reminding me!
I crossposted it there, but the difference in traffic is so vast that I consider it justifiable to keep it here too, so people will actually see it 🤷
EU is now officially an Israel puppet. Nothing to see here, worthless pieces of shit…
It always was the uss and it’s proxy in the middle easr puppets
So the ICC is officially a joke
ICC is not an executive power the joke are Italy and France
The UK recently hosted the Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who has also committed many war crimes, so they’re doing worse here.
UK has much worse concerns than this my friend.
Also they’ve arrested Greta Thunberg at least twice for protesting the apartheid regime that tortured her. At least once for protesting against fossil fuel atrocities too.
As well as thousands of others, of course, but you KNOW a government’s rotten when it keeps going after our Greta!
Wow! I never heard of this.😮
What would be the procedure if they were to comply with the warrant? Intercept him with fighter jets and force a landing?
Probably something like that, yeah.
Countries have been known to do much worse to arrest people wanted for MUCH lesser crimes 🤷
They pulled down the Bolivian President’s plane just on the mere suspicion thet Edward Snowden was on board.
The flight was rerouted to Austria when Italy, France, and Spain denied the flight access to their airspace.
So we know it’s possible.
sure but… boliva doesn’t have nukes
Exactly. The pilot doesn’t have a death wish.
Tbh i think if you fly the plane of Benjamin Netanyahu you must have a deathwish.
Don’t they need to request permission to enter the airspace before take off? They should at least deny the request and make them take a longer route
Hopefully send at least 52 missiles into the plane.
Hitler 2025 was not stopped when he easily could have been by France, Greece and Italy
a nice spit on our face to demonstrate the “laws” are for us and only suggestion to them
Law enforcement varies on the consequences the result from its practice. An ordinary person with no political power beside voting and protesting compared to a head of state with the backing of an advanced military naturally results in a different application. It’s not fair, but it’s life.
sounds like you are saying the same thing but with more words…
This comment makes me wanna listen to punk rock and start a class war
Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal / I
walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’
They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells.
I’m going to eat a very spicy burger and play video games for 12 hours straight to see if that starts a class war.
Shame on those genocide enablers.
Time with trump is worse than prison tho
Not if you’re a fellow fascist narcissist dictator adored by him. I bet the two bastards get along swimmingly.
Plus Bibi might be running out of clean undies
*though or thoe.
