Report: Turkey Seeks Interpol Red Notice for Netanyahu over Gaza Flotilla Case
Turkey says the request targets 35 defendants and alleges genocide, while Interpol will review whether the notices meet its rules.
- On Friday, the Turkish Justice Ministry requested Interpol Red Notices for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Afek Moskovitch over genocide charges stemming from an Israeli interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
- Justice Minister Akin Gurlek stated the request follows arrest warrants issued by Istanbul's 11th High Criminal Court on July 14, 2026, involving 35 defendants facing allegations of genocide.
- Interpol's Notices and Diffusions Task Force reviews all applications for compliance; a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant but a request to locate individuals, with member countries deciding under their own laws whether to act.
- Meanwhile, Netanyahu held a security assessment Thursday regarding regional developments and Syria, while Ankara continues accusing the Israeli government of seeking immunity from accountability over its conduct in the Gaza Strip.
- President Recep Tayyip Erdogan affirmed Turkey would pursue "resolutely" all available legal avenues, framing the proceedings as part of a campaign to hold Israeli leadership accountable for actions in Gaza.
