A Turkish court has issued an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with a case involving the vessel Mavi Marmara, which was part of the Gaza flotilla in 2010. The 11th Criminal Court of Istanbul issued the warrant on July 14, 2026, as part of the proceedings for the "Sumud Fleet" trial, which is linked to events surrounding the Israeli naval raid on the ship that resulted in the deaths of several activists.
Turkish media report that the court’s decision requires a separate approval process from Interpol for the issuance of a "Red Notice," which would formally alert member countries to the request for arrest. The court has accused Netanyahu along with others of various charges related to the incident. The Israeli government has not yet responded publicly to this development.
