Turkey has requested an Interpol red notice for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with the Sumud Flotilla incident, Middle East Eye reported. Justice Minister Akın Gurlek announced the legal action in a statement posted on X, signaling Ankara's intent to pursue criminal charges through international channels.
The request marks a significant escalation in tensions between Turkey and Israel. Turkey has also initiated criminal proceedings against dozens of other individuals connected to the incident. The Sumud Flotilla operation involved a vessel attempting to reach Gaza, an action that Turkish authorities view as grounds for international legal action against senior Israeli officials.
