Turkey Issues Fresh Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu over Gaza Flotilla Interception
Turkey says the case involves 35 defendants and alleges genocide, torture and other crimes after the interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
- On Friday, Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek announced Ankara requested Interpol Red Notices for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and official Afek Moskovitch following July 14 arrest warrants over the 2025 Global Sumud Flotilla interception.
- Istanbul prosecutors indicted 35 defendants in April 2026 for genocide and crimes against humanity concerning the October 2025 interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters.
- An Interpol Red Notice serves as a request to locate and provisionally arrest individuals pending extradition; Interpol reviews requests to ensure compliance with rules prohibiting political intervention.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office dismissed the request as a "pathetic attempt to intimidate," calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an "antisemitic dictator" and vowing to act forcefully against regional destabilization.
- These legal maneuvers occur amid heightened tensions over Syria, where Ankara rejected claims that Turkish forces posed a security threat, characterizing them as attempts to legitimize Israeli airstrikes.
