Turkey issues arrest warrants for 37 Israeli officials over Gaza allegations, citing war crimes and blocking aid.

Turkey has issued arrest warrants for 37 senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over alleged genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The Istanbul prosecutor's office cited specific incidents like the October 2023 attack on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital and the March bombing of the Turkish-built Palestinian Friendship Hospital, along with blockades and destruction of medical infrastructure. The move, symbolic but legally significant, aligns with international efforts including the ICC’s warrants and South Africa’s ICJ case. Israel dismissed it as a political stunt, while Hamas welcomed it. The warrants could restrict the officials’ travel to Turkey.
