Netanyahu Orders Legal Case Prepared Against Erdoğan, Report Says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed an interministerial team and the Justice Ministry's international-law director to prepare a case against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, according to reporting published Sunday. The planned dossier would examine Erdoğan's actions toward Kurdish minorities and allegations of Turkish financing of Hamas. The directive followed Erdoğan's announcement that he had asked Interpol to seek a Red Notice for Netanyahu. Israel has not decided whether to file a case at the International Criminal Court, and the report says officials hope the dossier will deter further Turkish moves. Netanyahu and Justice Ministry officials declined comment.
