UN’s Albanese Slams States that Let Netanyahu Fly over Airspace for US Trip

FRANCE, ITALY, GREECE, JUL 8 – France, Italy and Greece allowed Netanyahu's plane to cross their airspace despite an ICC arrest warrant, citing head-of-state immunity and avoiding diplomatic conflict, legal experts say.

  • On July 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Italian, French, and Greek airspace en route to a meeting with US President Donald Trump.
  • Netanyahu's flight occurred after the ICC issued arrest warrants in November 2024 for him and Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza, which Israel contests and does not recognize.
  • The flight path was extended by 400km to avoid countries that might enforce the warrants, and France authorized the overflight despite disputes over its legality under international law.
  • United Nations special rapporteur Francesca Albanese criticized Italy, France, and Greece for providing 'safe passage' to the ICC-wanted Netanyahu and called for explanations of their actions.
  • Albanese’s criticism highlights concerns that these states may have violated their legal obligations under the Rome Statute, undermining the international legal order and endangering their citizens.
