Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official aircraft is currently positioned in Greece rather than Cyprus, contrary to reports circulating following Israel’s strike against Iran, according to cross-referenced sources.

The presidential aircraft, designated “Wings of Zion,” is located within Athens Flight Information Region (FIR), accompanied by two fighter jets. Israeli Ambassador to Athens Noam Katz is reportedly aboard the aircraft.

Initial media reports incorrectly placed the aircraft in Cyprus after Israel’s strikes on Iran, prompting official clarification of the aircraft’s actual location.

The Wings of Zion serves as Israel’s primary government transport aircraft, specifically designated for presidential and prime ministerial international travel. The aircraft operates as a Boeing 767-338ER wide-body twin-engine configuration under Israeli Air Force command.

The aircraft’s positioning in Greek airspace follows established protocols for high-level diplomatic movements during regional security operations. Fighter escort accompaniment reflects standard security procedures for senior Israeli leadership during elevated threat periods.
