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.

    The UK recently hosted the Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who has also committed many war crimes, so they’re doing worse here.

      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!

    Hitler 2025 was not stopped when he easily could have been by France, Greece and Italy

      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.

      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

        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.
