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.

    A war criminal meeting with another war criminal and no one doing shit about it. Big surprise. What’s the point of the warrant if no one even cares? The world’s gone mad to allow these assholes to go about doing whatever the fuck they want.

    Everybody knows that today all the international institutions are dead. It was always the law of the jungle. Naive people are reaching now that conclusion.

    This post makes it look like it’s only the western countries that ignore the ICC or ICJ…

    Post with “west bad!” agenda

      Use their fighter jets to intercept the plane and force it to land. Then arrest Netanyahu and put him on trial in The Hague. Or even easier don’t grant it permission into their airspace.

      Yeah, it’s not like they’re ISRAEL or the US!

      That aside, though, they could have arrested him without killing anyone relatively easily by just enforcing their airspace to make the “Wings of Zion” (🤮) land.

      If their pilot is willing to kill the entire plane to not let one genocidal war criminal be arrested on land, that’s a pilot who should also be rotting in the Hague.

      Yikes guys, Operation Valkyrie seems kinda problematic, that exploding briefcase killed several Nazi officers who just happened to be in the same room as Hitler.
