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 7 July, France, Italy, and Greece permitted Netanyahu’s plane to fly over, raising concerns from UN experts about potential violations of international law obligations.
  • Amid legal debates, Italy and France claimed immunity, leading to overflight permissions despite their obligations under the Rome Statute to arrest Netanyahu.
  • ICC issued arrest warrants in November 2023, with subsequent flights over France, Italy, and Greece confirmed in February and April, demonstrating repeated overflight despite legal obligations.
  • UN experts Francesca Albanese and Craig Mokhiber criticized France, Italy, and Greece for allowing Netanyahu's overflights, demanding explanations for their failure to uphold international obligations under the Rome Statute.
  • European Union countries remain divided over ICC enforcement; Hungary's withdrawal protests highlight broader treaty tensions amid 125 signatories to the Rome Statute.
