Turkish authorities issued an official arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on August 21, 2026, seeking an Interpol Red Notice.
The warrant is linked to allegations of genocide and war crimes stemming from a 2026 raid on Gaza aid convoys, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
Netanyahu’s office has strongly condemned the move, labeling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an 'antisemitic dictator' in response to the legal action.
