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.

    So it becomes even more of a joke as more nations leave?

    They aren’t respecting Israel. They are afraid of the US military and how they’d be deployed did something happened to Trump’s Bibi.

      ICC is not the joke you and those countries are the joke. Not even the usa is dumb enough to make a war with all Europe. They don’t seem to be afraid of the USA when it comes to oppose Trump’s Ukrainian surrender plan for

        Trump wants a war though. It’s how he intends to stay in power. He either becomes a god emperor or takes the country down with him.

          There is no obligation under U.S. law for the country to allow a president to stay in power beyond their constitutionally mandated term, even if a war is ongoing.
