Netanyahu's Flight Maneuver to Avoid Arrest

Benjamin Netanyahu took a detour to Washington, avoiding Dutch airspace to evade potential arrest, as reported by Haaretz.

International Criminal Court Case

• Netherlands pledged to abide by ICC order, unlike Hungary.
• ICC requested Hungary to arrest and extradite Netanyahu, which Hungary rejected.
• ICC charged Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Gallant for crimes in Gaza, denied by Israel.

Flight Route Adjustments

• Netanyahu's plane diverted 400km to avoid Dutch, Irish, and Icelandic airspace.
• Fear of emergency landing risks led to route change.

Concerns about US stay are minimal as the US does not recognize the ICC, with Trump even imposing sanctions on ICC staff.
