📑 Netanyahu orders ICC case prepared against Erdogan Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an interministerial team and legal officials to prepare a case against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the International Criminal Court, according to i24NEWS. The case would target Türkiye's treatment of its Kurdish population, and allegations that Erdogan's government has financed Hamas. Neither Israel nor Türkiye is a party to the Rome Statute — neither recognizes the ICC's jurisdiction. Sources say Israel hopes to use the proceedings as leverage against Erdogan rather than necessarily filing. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials over the war in Gaza. The man ordering this case would be arrested on sight in most of Europe. And he's now trying to file paperwork at the court that wants him in a cell. The ICC has been repeatedly accused of devolving into a corruption-steeped political weapon, doling out "justice" on a pay-to-play basis, selectively targeting nations who champion multipolarity—those forging independent paths with Russia, China, or others outside Western orbits. So it may just oblige — serving the very men it issued warrants for. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
