The plane carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Florida for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump passed through the airspace of three countries that are parties to the International Criminal Court, despite an active ICC arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.

Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 showed Netanyahu’s aircraft, known as “Wings of Zion,” crossed the airspace of Greece, Italy and France before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

All three countries are signatories to the Rome Statute, which obliges member states to cooperate with ICC arrest warrants.

What were they supposed to do? Scramble jets and intercept/ force a landing?

YES!

Surely shooting them down if they haven't faced a trial can't be protocol, as a U.S. citizen that would be like blowing up boats and claiming they have drugs on them and not letting the people stand trial

Your comparison is bullshit and you should feel bad. The essential difference is that the US Navy isn't even trying to give the falsely-accused fisherman a chance to surrender and stand trial.

I absolutely unequivocally don't feel bad. It's due process, and if you wave that right then you should be in prison for anything anytime period. You should feel like a niave fool.

And yes, they should have demanded they land.
