· World · NDTV, Hindustan Times, New York Times
Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with the interception of a flotilla.

Turkey has maintained a critical stance toward Israel's military operations in Gaza, which began after the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas. The warrant represents a significant escalation in the diplomatic tensions between Ankara and Jerusalem. The report does not specify the legal mechanism or the immediate enforcement implications of this warrant.
