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.

It's hard to keep speaking out both sides of their mouths if they invite him over for some purikura.
