Netanyahu's Plane Adds 250 Miles Onto Journey to Washington to Avoid ICC Arrest Warrant, Report Says
The plane flying Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington added about 250 miles (400 kilometers) onto its journey to avoid crossing countries that could potentially enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, according to The Times of Israel. The Israeli newspaper said that the Wing of Zion state plane took a convoluted flight path from Budapest to Washington on April 6 to avoid potentially being forced to make an emergency landing while crossing one of the countries 'likely to enforce the arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court' for alleged war crimes. Animation from Flightradar24 illustrating a playback of Netanyahu's flight path shows the flight passing over selected European countries, including Italy and France, before flying a long leg over the ocean and landing in Washington. Netanyahu was in Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump in what The Times of Israel described as a 'series of hastily arranged meetings.' Netanyahu said he planned to discuss tariffs with Trump, as well as the war in Gaza. Credit: via Storyful
