Netanyahu Travels to UN in New York Despite ICC Arrest Warrant and Airspace Transit
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to New York for the UN General Assembly despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued in November 2024. His plane crossed the airspace of Greece, Italy, and France—countries party to the Rome Statute—without interception, as France stated the ICC warrant did not obligate it to detain a state aircraft in transit. Netanyahu delivered a speech condemning allegations against Israel, while local officials acknowledged they lacked authority to arrest him in the U.S. The ICC warrant relates to alleged war crimes during the Gaza conflict.
