VIDEO: Netanyahu’s Flight To D.C. Takes Unusual Path To Avoid ICC Arrest Warrants

An Israeli news outlet accused Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of taking a flight detour on his way to the U.S. to avoid passing countries that had declared they would follow the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israeli newspaper Maariv said that Netanyahu took “an unusual flight path” bypassing much of continental Europe. Flights from Israel to Washington would usually pass over the Mediterranean Sea, over Greece or Turkey, then cross Italy, Switzerland, France or Germany to enter the Canadian airspace and continue southward toward Washington. Animation from Flightradar23, illustrating a playback of Netanyahu’s flight path, shows that instead, the flight only passed over Greece, Italy and France before flying a long leg over the ocean and landing in Washington. France, Germany, and Italy have been noncommittal regarding their obligations in response to the warrant. (Credit: Flightradar24.com via Storyful)
