The Turkish judiciary issued arrest warrants for "genocide" tonight for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
A total of 37 suspects are on the arrest warrant list, the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office said, without providing a complete list.
The list also includes Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, according to a statement from the Istanbul prosecutor's office, which condemns "the genocide and crimes against humanity that the Israeli state is systematically committing in Gaza."
The Turkish judiciary also cites the case of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the Gaza Strip, built by Turkey, which was attacked in March by the Israeli army, which claims that the Palestinian movement Hamas was using the building as its base.
Turkey, one of the most vocal critics of the war that the Israeli military launched in the Gaza Strip after Hamas' attack on Israeli soil on October 7, 2023, has already joined the genocide case against Israel that South Africa launched before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year.
A peace plan proposed by United States President Donald Trump led to the implementation of a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on October 10, after two years of devastating war.
