Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant.
“The Times Of Israel” writes about this.
Erdogan called the measure a “courageous decision” and expressed support for its implementation.
In his speech in Istanbul, Erdogan stressed the importance of member countries of the Rome Statute guaranteeing the implementation of this decision. According to him, this could help restore confidence in the international justice system.
“We support the arrest warrant. “We believe it is important that this courageous decision be implemented by all countries party to the agreement to restore humanity’s trust in the international system,” Erdogan said in a speech in Istanbul.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed that Ankara refused this week to allow Israeli President Herzog to use its airspace. As a result, the decision forced Duke to cancel his visit to the UN climate conference COP29, which is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Israeli President’s Office announced that Duke would not attend the event for security reasons.
At a press conference at the G20 leaders’ summit in Brazil, Erdogan explained that Turkey’s decision was due to its disagreement with Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. He noted that Herzog had been asked to take an alternative route, but did not know whether the Israeli leader had chosen that option.
Earlier, an Azerbaijani official said that Israel and Türkiye tried for several days to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels, but the negotiations ended in vain. Ankara firmly insisted on its refusal to provide an air corridor for the Israeli president’s plane.
