  "summary": "Türkiye has sought an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of \"genocide\" linked to Israel's interception of an aid flotilla for Gaza. The Turkish Justice Minister announced the move, stating that Netanyahu and another Israeli national, Afek Moskovitch, face allegations including crimes against humanity, genocide, and torture.\n\nAccording to the Turkish Justice Minister, Akin Gurlek, the move follows judicial proceedings over an attack in international waters involving activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was carrying aid to Gaza.\n\nIsrael has swiftly dismissed Ankara's move, with Netanyahu's office describing it as \"Türkiye's hypocrisy\". Netanyahu's office also made accusations against Turkish President Erdogan, describing him as an \"antisemitic dictator\".",
