Turkey issues international arrest warrant for Netanyahu

The 11th High Criminal Court of Istanbul has ordered an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The warrant stems from the Israeli military's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a humanitarian flotilla attempting to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.

The Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office indicted 35 defendants, including Netanyahu, in April, charging them with crimes against humanity, genocide, imprisonment, torture, and robbery.

According to the prosecution, Israeli authorities forcibly stopped ships, detained civilians using violence, and subjected them to treatment incompatible with human dignity. The prosecution requested life imprisonment for each defendant, plus additional sentences ranging from 1102 to 4596 years.

The warrant issued by the Turkish court is international in nature, but its practical implementation is unlikely. Israel does not recognize the jurisdiction of Turkish courts over its citizens and does not extradite them to third countries.

Nevertheless, Ankara's decision itself is a demonstrative step, further exacerbating already tense Turkish-Israeli relations. Israel, for its part, categorically denies all accusations.

The Turks clearly lost their temper.
Now they won't see the planes Trump promised. And how dare Erdogan condemn his best friend, the red-haired clown, for anything?
Now there will be a lot of squealing from across the ocean.

[Dmitry Mikhailovich Seregin]

I don't think there will be any information noise, let alone consequences. In a couple of days, no one will remember.

[credo]

...Now there will be a lot of squealing from across the ocean.

You've probably seen an American wrestling show on TV - it seems real, but it's pretend.
Turkey and Israel are running a similar wrestling show - they're seriously trading and imposing sanctions to cover up the situation.

credo
They may trade and they do trade, but they have never been friends.

Maybe they did it on purpose so as not to buy ugh?

It would be interesting to see two Middle Eastern strongmen clash! Both countries are formidable opponents.

It would be interesting to see how two Middle Eastern tough guys would clash!

Well, you've really compared the two strongmen. Türkiye, with its thousand-year history, conquered Byzantium, took Constantinople, and successfully crushed its allies during World War I, and Israel, which, with US support, isn't even capable of taking Gaza.

[esoteric]

You should also remember Genghis Khan's Mongolia, which reached Europe.
Or Greece under Alexander the Great.

And it’s scary to think about Italy, that Rome conquered it first...

How can these countries lose to anyone in a modern war if they once conquered half the world?

You underestimate the Jews, they are in all governments of the world, except perhaps in Asia.

I fully appreciate the talent of this ethnic group for weaving intrigues within the governments of other countries. A clear example is today's Ukraine, where there are no Ukrainians in the government. But within their own country, they have nothing to boast about. They are simply a gray mass. They have no native athletes, singers, or actors. The entire economy is supported by subsidies and grants from America.

[Pimply]

You do realize, right, that the capture of Gaza is a military achievement? Israel's failure to capture it is a matter of misunderstanding what to do with the internal forces and the international community, which is accustomed to making endless political points in Gaza. Militarily, Israel does whatever it wants there.

Türkiye ended in the First World War, they didn't fall apart only because the gentlemen decided to leave them alive for now.

This is the best that could have happened on BV: some terrorists are killing others.

Both countries are not weak opponents.

And most importantly, both of our opponents and any split among our opponents is good.

As they say in the saying: "If you don't fight, we won't watch"!!!

We need to create a coalition of those willing to catch this killer. I think many countries will join in. I'm sick and tired of this extortionist... His stuffed figure would adorn Erdogan's palace.

[tralflot1832]

What kind of dirty trick is this from Erdogan, Trump, and Rubio? An arrest warrant was issued for their buddies, and who did it? Not the ICC, but the Turks. The seats from under Trump and Rubio's asses are still warm in Istanbul.

This is Netanyahu's revenge for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Turks.

Will all Jewish fascists really be arrested?

Israel couldn't care less about Turkish papers. They weren't afraid when they got rid of those activists, and they're even more so now.

[Montezuma]

Since we're talking about the Turks, it's worth recalling the July 10th publication about the alleged sale of Russian S-400 missiles to some Middle Eastern country without Russia's permission, along with Peskov's comments. There was so much vitriol and venom in the individual comments, and no one bothered to verify the veracity of this "sensational" Turkish newspaper report. Later, on that same July 10th, a statement was published by Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan refuting this information. The author of the publication somehow overlooked this point, which was a shame.

ANKARA, July 10 – RIA Novosti. Constructive negotiations with Russia are necessary to resolve the issue of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, commenting on reports that Ankara is prepared to transfer them to a third country.
"It is necessary to conduct constructive negotiations with Russia on the S-400 air defense system issue," Fidan said in an interview with The National.
Fidan emphasized that he cannot yet name the countries that may be involved in this process, nor reveal a possible settlement model.
According to him, Russia, as a supplier of the S-400 systems, should also participate in the negotiations, since without its participation, the implementation of any agreements is impossible.

So, the information about Turkey selling S-400 air defense systems turned out to be false, but a certain group of commentators went wild, and these offensive, false comments remain unheeded by the editors:

We have had contacts with the Turkish side on this issue. And we will continue to do so," Peskov emphasized.

- another "deception" by the Kremlin and a mockery of its weakness, "peacefulness", lack of will and inaction...

a simpleton. This is called professional incompetence.

This is the editorial policy at VO: "It's not me, it's not my place!" The Supreme Court has essentially granted online media outlets a pass on user comments. But during wartime, this is wrong. It's criminal. It's editorial work for the enemy. On those same war bloggers' channels, admins are deleting such commentators en masse without mercy. And VO has been increasingly reminding me of the Venediktov swamp of Echo of Moscow lately.
I read your link, and there wasn't a single sober comment. All participants should be deleted indiscriminately.

Lately it's becoming more and more reminiscent of the Venediktov swamp of "Echo of Moscow".

I have the feeling that the local "Ruvinsky", who indulges the provocateurs and informers and does not react to the provocateurs themselves, is seeking the fate of EM and VO, with the tacit consent of the AA Site Administration

[Zaurbek]

I would add fuel to this dispute.

[kill the fascist]

Jews in general, and Bibi in particular, aren't the kind of guys to let this go unnoticed. There will be some kind of retaliation.

Judging by the prison terms, these are some kind of Bible comrades. Up to a year, the sentence is listed. I wonder. Maybe those who passed the sentence know something?

Perhaps they were previously convicted of the well-known treason 😇
and just recently they came out 😀
but somewhere they screwed up again...

Sultan Hurricane, sorry Erdogan, and he is strong only in words, not in deeds.

bb is really an Edomite. go figure. no one will turn him over to istambul authorities though.

[Comrade Kim]

Once again, Netanyahu's wife, Erdogan's concubine, sympathetically lowers her pants and waves to her husband.
All these angry statements are for the domestic consumer, nothing more.

[Gomunkul]

Media reports indicate that Erdogan wants to run for a third term as president of Turkey, but this requires changes to the country's constitution.
So that

"This zzzzz is not without reason!"
