Turkey issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, other Israeli leaders over ‘genocide’ in Gaza
|
[IsraelTimes] FM Sa’ar says Israel ‘firmly rejects’ the charges, notes same Istanbul prosecutor’s office ‘recently orchestrated the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor merely for daring to run against Erdogan
 The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
announced Friday that it had issued arrest warrants for alleged genocide against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and bigwigs in his government over the war in Gazoo against Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
The announcement was met with a firm rebuttal from Israel. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Israel "firmly rejects, with contempt" the charges, calling them "the latest PR stunt by the tyrant (Ottoman Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan."
The Istanbul prosecutor’s office said in a statement that a total of 37 suspects were targeted by the arrest warrants, without providing a full list.
They include Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
Turkey has accused the officials of "genocide and crimes against humanity" that Israel has "perpetrated systematically" in Gaza. Israel has repeatedly rejected claims of genocide as false and antisemitic.
The statement also refers to the "Ottoman Turkish-Paleostinian Friendship Hospital," built by Turkey in the Gaza Strip and bombed by Israel in March. The Israel Defense Force said at the time that the facility was being used by Hamas operatives and had "not been used as an active hospital for over a year."
Turkey, which has been one of the most vocal critics of the war in Gaza and whose leader Erdogan is a longtime supporter of Hamas, last year joined South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

’s regional peace plan, after two years of war sparked by the Hamas-led atrocities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Islamist terror group Hamas welcomed Turkey’s announcement, calling it a "commendable measure (confirming) the sincere positions of the Ottoman Turkish people and their leaders, who are committed to the values of justice, humanity and fraternity that bind them to our oppressed Paleostinian people."
STABILIZATION FORCE
Sa’ar said in his post in English on the social media platform X that "in Erdogan’s Turkey, the judiciary has long since become a tool for silencing political rivals and detaining journalists, judges and mayors."
He added that the Istanbul prosecutor’s office "recently orchestrated the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul merely for daring to run against Erdogan," referring to Ekrem Imamoglu, who was detained in March.
Former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman wrote on X that the arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials "clearly explain why Turkey should not be present in the Gaza Strip — directly or indirectly."
Turkey wants to take part in the international stabilization force intended to play a role in post-war Gaza, according to Trump’s plan.
But Ankara’s efforts, which include increasing diplomatic contacts in the region and seeking to influence the pro-Israel stance of the United States, are viewed unfavorably in Israel due to Turkey’s ties with Hamas.
Israeli leaders have repeatedly expressed their opposition to any Ottoman Turkish participation in the international stabilization force in Gaza.
