Turkey accuses Netanyahu of 'genocide', Israeli PM calls Erdogan 'antisemitic dictator'
What happened
Turkey and Israel traded barbs on Friday after Ankara announced it had sought an international arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of "genocide" linked to the interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Turkey is one of Israel's fiercest critics over its war in Gaza, sparked by the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on southern Israel. Story by Charlotte Lam.
