Israel PM Netanyahu Calls Türkiye's Erdogan 'Antisemitic Dictator'
Turkish officials said the warrants cover genocide and crimes against humanity charges in an Istanbul court case involving 35 people.
- Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek announced an Istanbul court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu on charges including "genocide" and "crimes against humanity" related to the Gaza-bound flotilla interception.
- Since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has emerged as a fierce critic, comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and threatening to invade the Jewish state.
- The warrants are part of an Istanbul court case against 35 people concerning the Gaza-bound flotilla, with Gurlek stating charges also included "crimes against humanity." A red notice request has been forwarded internationally.
- Netanyahu's office vowed to combat Erdogan's "aggression" in the Middle East, describing the Turkish effort to arrest him as a "pathetic" way to intimidate Israel.
