Turkey asks Interpol to enforce arrest warrant against Netanyahu
Netanyahu's office issued a harsh condemnation of Turkey and its leader, saying that 'Erdoğan's pathetic attempt to intimidate the leaders and soldiers of Israel will go nowhere'
Turkey has requested Interpol issue a red notice for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with a domestic criminal case. The case involves charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, and torture against 35 people, including Netanyahu, in relation to the interception of humanitarian aid ships to Gaza.
Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek confirmed the arrest warrants, stating Turkey will pursue all legal mechanisms to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza. Netanyahu's office condemned Turkey and its leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, accusing Erdoğan of antisemitism and seeking to extend aggression into Syria. Israel struck a Turkish air base in Syria earlier this week, sparking international condemnation.
Turkey has previously issued arrest warrants for 37 senior Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, on genocide and crimes against humanity charges related to the interception of aid ships.
