According to informed sources, Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, asked his country's officials to skip this year's World Economic Forum in Davos over the organizers' stance on "Israel's" war on Gaza.

They added that Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek was going to attend the annual gathering until Erdogan reversed the decision.

Turkey filed a lawsuit against Netanyahu with the ICC

The governing Justice and Development Party attorneys said on November 14, 2023, that Turkey has filed a case against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing him of committing genocide against the Palestinians.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed to reporters on November 4 that Turkey is no longer considering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as its "interlocutor", but the head of the Turkish National Intelligence Organization, Ibrahim Kalin, remains in contact with "Israel".

Erdogan also stated that any agreement between Turkey and the United States regarding the Gaza Strip is impossible if Washington considers it part of "Israeli territory." He stressed that Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people, and the US must recognize this for any agreement to be feasible.
