Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on September 24, 2026, in violation of an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest. The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024 for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza since October 2023. Despite the warrant, Netanyahu arrived in the US to address the UN General Assembly, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that the US government does not have the authority to arrest him.
Canada, Italy, France and Greece, as ICC member states, are legally obligated to enforce the warrant. However, their repeated allowance of Netanyahu's overflight has raised questions about potential breaches of international law.
