Netanyahu's Interpol Warrant: A Symbolic Blow to Israeli Exceptionalism The Turkish government has requested an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through Interpol, sparking outrage from Jerusalem.
Netanyahu's office dismissed the attempt as "petty political tactics," but the implications of this development are more far reaching.
For years, Turkey has been a vocal critic of Israel's treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Ankara's criticism often falls on deaf ears amidst diplomatic silence from other countries.
