Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is running his election campaign on anti-Turkiye rhetoric after being forced under US pressure to stop attacks on Iran and Lebanon, Anadolu reports.
Netanyahu, whose name has been linked to corruption allegations and whose party has fallen in public opinion polls, has long sought to avoid prison.
He became the first sitting Israeli prime minister to stand trial for corruption.
Netanyahu, the architect of the genocide in the Gaza Strip and responsible for the deaths of more than 73,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, has been criticized even in Israel for “setting the region on fire to protect his seat.”
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on Nov. 21, 2024, over war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.
