"Turkiye says it has issued arrest warrants for genocide against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials. Among 37 suspects listed are Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and army chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, according to a Friday statement from the Istanbul prosecutor's office, which did not publish the complete list. Turkiye has accused the officials of genocide and crimes against humanity that Israel has perpetrated systematically in its war on Gaza since October 2023."
"The October 17, 2023, attack on the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital claimed 500 lives; on February 29, 2024, Israeli soldiers deliberately destroyed medical equipment; Gaza was placed under blockade, and victims were denied access to humanitarian aid, it said. The statement also refers to the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, built by Turkiye in the Gaza Strip and bombed by Israel in March. Israel denounced the move as a PR stunt."
Turkiye has issued arrest warrants for 37 Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and army chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir. The warrants accuse the officials of genocide and crimes against humanity allegedly perpetrated systematically in Israel's war on Gaza since October 2023. The accusations cite the October 17, 2023 attack on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital that claimed 500 lives, the February 29, 2024 destruction of medical equipment, the March bombing of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, the Gaza blockade and denial of humanitarian aid. Israel rejected the move as a PR stunt, while Hamas welcomed it. The ICC previously issued warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, and Turkiye joined South Africa's ICJ genocide case. Reported Palestinian casualties since October 2023 are at least 68,875 killed and 170,679 wounded.
