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.

    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.
