Turkey has issued an international arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of an investigation into Israel's interception of an aid flotilla for Gaza, Justice Minister Akin Gurlek announced Friday on X.

Turkey has already issued warrants against Netanyahu and other top officials for "genocide" over Israel's actions in the Gaza war.

International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on November 21, 2024. He is accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including starvation as a method of warfare, murder, persecution, and intentionally directing attacks against civilians in Gaza.
