'Israel' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plane en route to the United States on Tuesday passed through the airspace of three countries party to the Rome Statute, despite an arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Flight tracking site Flightradar showed Netanyahu’s private plane, “Wing of Zion,” flying over Greece, Italy, and France on its way to the US. The three nations are ICC members bound by its rulings, yet their airspace remained open to the flight.

The route mirrors one taken in late December, when Netanyahu traveled to meet US President Donald Trump. In previous trips, Netanyahu avoided entering certain countries’ airspace for fear of arrest, though in September he flew over Greece and Italy for the UN General Assembly, skipping France.
