Turkey said Friday it will request an Interpol red notice for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with a domestic criminal case stemming from an attack on activists, Middle East Eye reported. The move centers on an incident involving a Gaza-bound flotilla, though details of the underlying case were not specified in available reporting.
An Interpol red notice would be an international warrant requesting member countries to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition proceedings. Turkey's effort represents a significant escalation in its legal actions against Israeli leadership over the flotilla operation.
