Jerusalem, 8 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued arrest warrants for 37 individuals, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on charges of “genocide” in connection with the war in Gaza.
According to a press statement from the prosecutor’s office cited in the newspaper Türkiye Today, among those named are Defence Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The prosecutor’s office has reportedly claimed that Israel of “systematically targets civilians in the Gaza Strip” amid its war against Hamas, which started after the terrorist group’s 7 October 2023 atrocities against Israeli civilians.
Israel denies all claims that it targets civilians, and regularly cites its efforts to evacuate non-combatants ahead of strikes, as well to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid, as evidence.
