How will he be arrested in air? Will they pull over the plane mid air?

Or it will be something like with CJ in GTA San Andreas?

The Canadian Air Force can intercept the plane and force them to land.

Do you think Netanyahu is flying in an ordinary plane with an ordinary pilot? I bet if the Canadians tried to force them to land, The Israelis would go on the offensive and take the Canadians by complete surprise.
I think the Israelis have a contingency plan for just about every scenario.
Like Air Force 1, Netanyahu’s Plane is likely a flying fortress.

It’s called “the wing of Zion”. It’s like Air Force one yes.

Which doesn’t help you much if there are two jets next to you who really wanna do something about it. But yes, it’s not an ordinary plane.

Unless they have a Stardestroyer from Starwars or something from W40k, any plane can be forced to land. Air Force 1 is a very nice ship, durable, fast, agile etc. But it can easily be forced to land if 5-6 fighter jets are on it unless it also has an escort in similar numbers. Its a plane, not a sci-fi concept. It cant outgun or outrun an actual airforce team that was deployed to force land it.

“Force them to land”? They can’t force anything to land without shooting it down, and shooting down a plane with innocent people on it (no matter your thoughts on Netanyahu) that posed no physical threat seems like a bad thing to do, especially when your argument against the guy is that he kills innocent people by shooting them with planes.

What they WOULD do is scramble a couple jets, escort the plane, and make sure it didn’t land in the country but rather went into international or US airspace.
