A diplomatic rift has deepened between Turkey and Israel as President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Netanyahu engaged in a public exchange of insults following Turkey's announcement it would request an INTERPOL Red Notice for Netanyahu. The move stems from a Turkish criminal case related to the 2010 interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla by Israel, in which ten activists were killed. Turkey’s Justice Minister confirmed the request, escalating tensions significantly. Netanyahu condemned the action as "outrageous" and a further deterioration in relations already strained by disagreements over the conflict in Gaza. Erdoğan responded by labeling Netanyahu a "terrorist" and accusing Israel of being a “terror state.” This exchange highlights a long-standing and increasingly hostile relationship between the two nations. The request for a Red Notice is likely to be controversial and its success is uncertain.
