Did Malaysia's Najib seek the protection of the Israel Air Force to provide safe passage over Jerusalem enroute Malta,Germany and Turkey

by Ganesh Sahathevan

9M-NAA is the registration number of the Royal Malaysian Airforce VIP jet used to ferry the Prime Minister Najib Razak, and his family. It uses the call sign NR-1 when Najib is on board.

The records below, derived from 9M-NAA's squawk code ,shows that on at least three occasions 
in 2016, Najib and his 9M-NAA flew over Jerusalem enroute Malta,Germany and Turkey ,despite Malaysia not having diplomatic relations with Israel, and despite an avowed opposition to anything Jewish.

Najib could have easily flown over any part of the Middle East, but it seems that self preservation might have prevailed in these instances.

9M-NAA is a military aircraft, so what special requests did Malaysia make of Israel to enable  use of airspace,and did the arrangements include Israel Air Force and Israel Defence Force air and ground cover?
