以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的周四，一架政府喷气式飞机从特拉维夫飞往纽约，基本避开了欧洲领空。
美国广播公司新闻频道(ABC News)看到的FlightRadar24记录显示，内塔尼亚胡前往联合国大会时，短暂飞越了希腊和意大利，但随后绕道地中海，直接飞越直布罗陀海峡，然后穿越大西洋。记录显示，这条不寻常的路线增加了首相两个多小时的飞行时间。
在以前的美国之行中，内塔尼亚胡的飞机在穿越整个法国之前，已经飞过希腊和意大利的大片地区。
意大利、法国和希腊都是国际刑事法庭的成员内塔尼亚胡的逮捕令被指控在加沙犯有战争罪。内塔尼亚胡拒绝了国际刑事法院的逮捕令，并表示这些行动和指控是“荒谬和错误的”
FlightRadar24记录显示，去年首相的飞机经常飞越欧洲领空。以色列媒体报道说，这是自2024年国际刑事法院发出战争罪逮捕令以来，内塔尼亚胡首次避开欧洲领空。
“对一些政府来说，允许内塔尼亚胡飞越他们的国家将是一项政治责任。过去没有人会知道，但现在每部智能手机上都有实时航班跟踪功能，每个人都可以跟踪自己的飞机。技术以这种微小的方式改变了外交，”前副助理国务卿、美国广播公司新闻撰稿人史蒂夫·甘亚德(Steve Ganyard)说。
内塔尼亚胡的飞行持续了13个小时，而从特拉维夫到JFK机场的商业航班通常只需不到11个小时。
总理办公室没有立即回应美国广播公司的置评请求。
Netanyahu's jet largely avoids European airspace in unusual route to New York
Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu'sgovernment jet flew an unusual route from Tel Aviv to New York Thursday, largely avoiding European airspace.
Netanyahu, traveling to the United Nations General Assembly, briefly flew over Greece and Italy, but then took a circuitous route across the Mediterranean, directly over the strait of Gibraltar and then across the Atlantic, according to FlightRadar24 records viewed by ABC News. The unusual route added more than two hours to the prime minister's flight time, the records show.
In previous U.S. trips, Netanyahu's jet has flown over Greece, a large swath of Italy, before crossing the entire length of France.
Italy, France and Greece are all members of the International Criminal Court which has issued anarrest warrant for Netanyahufor alleged war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu has rejected the ICC's arrest warrant and said the actions and charges are "absurd and false."
FlightRadar24 records show the prime minister's plane routinely flying over European airspace in the last year. Israeli media reports this is the first time Netanyahu has avoided European airspace since the ICC war crimes arrest warrant was issued in 2024.
"For some governments, giving Netanyahu permission to fly over their country would be a political liability. In the past no one would have known but now with real time flight tracking on every smart phone everyone will be able to track his plane. Technology has changed diplomacy in this small way," said Steve Ganyard, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and ABC News contributor.
Netanyahu's flight lasted 13 hours, while a commercial flight from Tel Aviv to JFK airport routinely takes just under 11 hours.
The prime minister's office did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
