Remember how Russia forced Navalny's plane to land in a different country so they could arrest him? Not that I agree with the action, but it might not be a bad idea for Europeans and Netanyahu. Just sayin'.
The few that might like the idea are too lacking in power to attempt, and in any case are easy for a flight between Israel & the US to avoid. Can't even see any of them denying access to their airspace.
He'd also unlikely to be travelling via a regular commercial passenger flight, as Navalny was.
Wasn't this Lukashenko for some Belarusian activists? IIRC, Navalny voluntarily returned to Russia.
Yeah actually it was a Belarusian journalist, Roman Protasevich.
Doesn't take away from the original point, obviously. Actually reinforces it as Belarus barely faced any consequence for that stunt.
