France: No legal obligation to detain Netanyahu during flight
The article reported that France defended its decision to allow the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plane to pass through its airspace en route to the United Nations, despite an arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court. France confirmed that this action was consistent with international law. It clarified that the Rome Statute does not obligate states to arrest or prevent the passage of aircraft carrying wanted individuals if they are on their territory. Netanyahu's plane flew over Greece, Italy, and France. This comes amid varying international stances regarding the arrest warrants, with Israel insisting that it does not recognize the jurisdiction of the court.
