Turkish prosecutors charge Netanyahu and 35 Israeli officials over Gaza flotilla

Original: Report: Turkish prosecutors have charged Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Katz & 32 other Israeli officials in relation to the 2025

Turkish prosecutors have reportedly charged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Defence Minister Israel Katz and 32 other Israeli officials over the interception of the 2025 Gaza aid flotilla. Reported charges include torture, unlawful deprivation of liberty, aggravated robbery, vessel hijacking, crimes against humanity and genocide. The move is likely to further strain already tense Turkish-Israeli relations.

Why now: Charging a sitting foreign head of government with crimes including genocide is an unusually dramatic legal and diplomatic escalation.
