Turkey seeks international arrest warrant against Israel's Netanyahu over Gaza flotilla detention

Turkey is seeking an international arrest notice through Interpol for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The request is tied to a domestic criminal case concerning the interception and detention of dozens of activists who were attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip.

The legal action stems from an Israeli military attack on the activists and their mission to provide relief to Gaza. Turkey's announcement on Friday formalizes its intent to pursue the Israeli leader internationally via Interpol's red notice system as part of the ongoing proceedings in its national courts.
