Dowladda Turkiga ayaa sheegtay inay codsan doonto ogeysiis cas oo Interpol ah si loo soo xiro Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, iyadoo tallaabadan ay qayb ka tahay baaritaanka ay Ankara ka waddo weerar lagu qaaday dad u dhaqdhaqaaqa xuquuqda aadanaha oo doonayay inay gargaar gaarsiinayaan Gaza.
Amar qabasho caalami ah oo lagu soo saaray Netanyahu
Wasiirka Caddaaladda Turkiga Akin Gurlek ayaa Jimcihii sheegay in waaranno lagu soo xirayo Netanyahu iyo qof kale oo looga shakisan yahay dambiyo ay ka mid yihiin xasuuq, dambiyo ka dhan ah aadanaha iyo jirdil, kuwaas oo qayb ka ah kiis ka dhan ah 35 qof oo la xiriira faragelintii Israa’il ku samaysay doonyaha ku jiray biyaha caalamiga ah.
Gurlek ayaa intaas ku daray in wasaaradda caddaaladdu ay ka codsatay wasaaradda arrimaha gudaha inay soo saarto ogeysiisyo cas oo Interpol ah, si caalamka looga raadiyo, isagoo intaas ku daray in Turkigu adeegsan doono dhammaan hababka sharci ee uu heli karo si loo hubiyo in Israa’il lagula xisaabtamo dambiyada ay ka geysatay Gaza.
Dhacdada doon gargaarka ee bishii May
Tallaabadan ayaa qeyb ka tahay baaritaan ay Ankara ka waddo dhacdo la xiriirta doon gargaar oo u socotay Gaza, iyadoo bishii May ciidamada Israa’il ay rasaas ku furay ugu yaraan laba dooni oo ka tirsanaa Global Sumud Flotilla, kuwaas oo ku sii jeeday Gaza.
Doonta ayaa lagu waday inay gaarsiiso gargaar bani’aadamnimo dadka Gaza, kuwaas oo muddo dheer wajahaya xaalad bani’aadamnimo oo aad u adag, waxaana la xiray boqolaal ka mid ah dadka u ololeynayay gaarsiinta gargaarka.
Jawaabaha Israa’il iyo xiriirka diblomaasiyadeed
Xafiiska Netanyahu ayaa, markii wax laga weydiiyay hadalka Gurlek, yiri: Isku dayga naxariis darrada ah ee Erdogan uu ku doonayo inuu cabsi geliyo hoggaamiyeyaasha iyo askarta Israa’il, oo ah dimuqraadiyadda kaliya ee dhabta ah ee Bariga Dhexe, meelna ma gaari doono.
Turkiga ayaa horay u soo saartay amarro qabasho oo ka dhan ah Netanyahu iyo saraakiil kale oo sare oo Israel ah, iyadoo horey u sameysay waaranno gudaha ah, halka Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Dambiyada (ICC) ay horey u soo saartay waaran soo qabasho oo ka dhan ah Netanyahu.
Turkey has announced it will request an Interpol red notice to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing the May attack on a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek confirmed the international arrest warrant as part of Ankara's ongoing legal probe into the incident.
Turkey's Legal Action Against Netanyahu
Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gurlek confirmed on Friday that an international arrest warrant has been issued for Netanyahu and another individual suspected of crimes including genocide, crimes against humanity, and torture. The charges are linked to a case involving 35 victims of Israel's actions against ships in international waters. Gurlek stated that the Ministry of Justice has formally requested the Ministry of Interior to issue red notices to search for the suspects globally.
The red notice is a request sent to police forces worldwide to locate and temporarily detain a person pending extradition proceedings. Interpol reviews such requests from member states before deciding whether to issue the notice. This marks a significant escalation in Turkey's legal efforts to hold Israel accountable for what Ankara describes as atrocities committed during the Gaza conflict.
Background on the Gaza Flotilla Attack
In May, Israeli forces opened fire on at least two vessels belonging to the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was en route to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The ships were carrying supplies intended for civilians facing severe humanitarian conditions in the territory. Israeli troops boarded the vessels and detained hundreds of activists participating in the aid mission, drawing widespread international condemnation.
Turkey has previously issued domestic arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials over what Ankara terms genocide in Gaza. The current international warrant builds on these earlier actions, reflecting Ankara's sustained diplomatic and legal pressure on Israel. The incident has further strained relations between the two nations, which have already experienced heightened tensions over Syria.
Israel's Response and Broader Tensions
Israel's office responded to the announcement by calling it a 'desperate attempt' by Erdogan to instill fear among Israeli leaders and soldiers, asserting that Israel remains the only genuine democracy in the Middle East. The government has repeatedly denied the genocide allegations, maintaining that its military operations are aimed at combating Hamas and ensuring Israel's security.
The situation is further complicated by recent diplomatic exchanges between Turkey and Israel over Syria, where Israel conducted airstrikes on a military base it claimed could host Turkish troops. Ankara and the United States both condemned the strikes, while Syria denied any plans to deploy Turkish forces. Analysts suggest Israel's rhetoric may be partly driven by anticipated parliamentary elections in October.
