Turkey issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 senior Israeli officials, accusing them of genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office said the warrants cover Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and other top figures. The statement cited the October 2023 al-Ahli Hospital attack, the destruction of medical equipment in February 2024, and the March 2025 bombing of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar dismissed the action as a “PR stunt” by President Erdogan, while Hamas praised it as a “commendable measure.” The development adds further strain to Israel-Turkey relations and fuels ongoing global scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in Gaza.
