Turkey Seeks International Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu over Gaza Flotilla
(Reuters) Turkey said on Friday it would seek an Interpol red notice for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of a domestic criminal case linked to the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing towards Gaza in May. Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek posted on X that Turkey will use all available legal mechanisms to ensure Israel is held accountable for its crimes. Turkey has previously issued domestic arrest warrants for Netanyahu over the war in Gaza. Responding to Gurlek's statement, Netanyahu's office said: "(Turkish President) Erdogan's pathetic attempt to intimidate the leaders and soldiers of Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East, will go nowhere."
