Turkey requests 'red notice' be issued against Netanyahu 'at international level'
The request announced by Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek follows an IDF strike on the Abu al-Duhur military airfield in northwestern Syria's Idlib province on Tuesday.
Turkey has requested that Interpol issue a red notice against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 35 other Israeli officials, accusing them of genocide, according to Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek. The move comes in response to Israel's actions in Gaza and follows Turkey's indictments of Netanyahu and Israeli officials in April over the naval interception of the October 2025 "Sumud" Gaza flotilla.
Gürlek emphasized that Turkey will not allow the crimes committed in Gaza to be covered up or the perpetrators to be shielded by impunity, and will use all available legal avenues to ensure accountability.
