Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew an unusual route to New York for the UN General Assembly, bypassing common European airways. His official plane, Wings of Zion, traveled over the Mediterranean, Greece, and Italy, entering the Atlantic via Gibraltar, adding nearly 600 km to the journey.
