Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.

Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.

          Not sure what else you would call killing the prime minister of a nation that you’re not at war with.

            Legally enforcing your airspace is not an assassination and you know it, stop being deliberately obtuse.

                  Yes it absolutely would lmao. No European country is at war with Israel. Every European country recognizes Israel as a sovereign nation.

                  It would be an assassination and an act of war.

                    Every European country recognizes Israel as a sovereign nation.

                    I’m genuinely curious what you think the relevance of this is.

                    Given that you’re so stupid you think a country enforcing their air space is both assassination and an act of war, I’m assuming your answer is going to be more nonsense though
