Turkey issues arrest warrant for Israeli PM
Turkey has issued an international arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, in connection with its attack on a humanitarian aid flotilla heading to the Gaza Strip in international waters in 2025. According to the Turkish Minister of Justice, the warrants issued in July 2026 accuse Netanyahu and another individual, Aviram Moskovich, of committing crimes against humanity and genocide, following the attack which resulted in the arrest of hundreds of activists, their detention in Israeli prisons, and subsequent deportation. The legal procedures were initiated in response to the attack on the "Global Resilience" flotilla, which was intended to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and was targeted by an Israeli assault in October 2025. Turkish authorities have indicated that their aim is to secure Netanyahu's arrest at the international level.
