Turkey announced Friday it will request an Interpol red notice for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with a domestic criminal case tied to an attack on activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid, Al-Monitor reported. The legal action centers on an incident involving a Gaza-bound flotilla that sought to break Israel's naval blockade.
The move represents a significant escalation in Turkish legal efforts against Israeli leadership over the long-disputed naval operation. Turkey has pursued various judicial channels against Netanyahu and other Israeli officials in relation to the flotilla incident, which has remained a source of tension between the two countries for years.
