Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's flight to New York for the UN General Assembly took an unusual, longer route, avoiding most European airspace. This marks the first time since an International Criminal Court arrest warrant was issued that his government jet has bypassed European nations like Italy, France, and Greece, all ICC members. Experts suggest this deviation may be due to potential political liabilities for countries allowing passage, amplified by modern flight tracking technology.
