Turkey has requested Interpol red notices against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and another individual in connection with a domestic criminal case related to the Global Sumud Flotilla. The flotilla, a civilian mission seeking to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters on May 18-19, 2024, resulting in the detention of all 429 people on board.
The Turkish Justice Minister announced arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the other suspect on charges including genocide, crimes against humanity, torture, property damage, and hijacking of means of transport. The move is part of a case against 35 people over the Israeli offensive in international waters. While Interpol has not yet confirmed the acceptance of the request, the warrants have been issued by Istanbul's 11th High Criminal Court, and the Turkish government is determined to hold those responsible for the alleged crimes accountable.
