As Iran-Israel tensions escalate, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official jet, known as the 'Wing of Zion', was suddenly spotted landing at Athens airport, Greece?
The presence of the plane has sparked heated speculation around the world that Netanyahu has secretly fled Israel for fear of Iranian retaliation?
The plane's arrival on Friday was confirmed by flight trackers, just hours after Israel launched a military strike on Iranian territory.
However, to this day, there has been no official confirmation from Israel whether Netanyahu or his family members were on the plane and this silence continues to raise big questions.
Various theories have begun to spread. Some believe that the plane was moved to Athens as a preliminary security measure to protect the Israeli top leadership from any possible retaliation.
However, there are also those who believe that Athens was used as a location for secret negotiations with US (US) or NATO military officials in an effort to coordinate a response if the conflict continues to escalate.
Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Netanyahu narrowly escaped the collapse of his government.
An attempt to dissolve parliament failed after he reached a last-minute compromise with ultra-Orthodox parties, who had been pushing for the continuation of military service exemptions for their community.
Despite his efforts to salvage his position, Netanyahu’s decision to launch a major attack on Iran and the mysterious arrival of his official jet in Athens have raised more questions than answers.
So, was the attack on Iran truly a national security measure — or part of Netanyahu’s tactical move to distract the public and avoid a political overthrow at a critical moment?
Perhaps, like the flames of war burning abroad, domestic political tensions are also waiting to explode.
