Türkiye has issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other suspects over their role in “genocide” in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.

Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office said on Friday it has issued arrest warrants for 37 suspects, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Katz, Eyal Zamir and David Saar Salama on charges of “genocide” in Gaza.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
