The Israeli prime minister vowed that he will still visit New York City for the upcoming UN meeting. Not all of these countries would necessarily arrest Netanyahu if he were to make an emergency landing, however, and some critics have noted that member states have allowed Netanyahu to fly over their airspace unimpeded. Netanyahu’s comment seems to suggest that Israeli forces would somehow protect Netanyahu in a foreign country if their law enforcement officers tried to arrest him. Meanwhile, a large proportion of Americans agree that the U.S. should carry out the ICC warrant against Netanyahu.
