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.

      Also they’ve arrested Greta Thunberg at least twice for protesting the apartheid regime that tortured her. At least once for protesting against fossil fuel atrocities too.

      As well as thousands of others, of course, but you KNOW a government’s rotten when it keeps going after our Greta!
