Netanyahu and Israel have rejected the allegations and challenged the court\u2019s jurisdiction.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The reported move comes amid a sharp deterioration in relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv, with both governments increasingly turning to international legal and diplomatic mechanisms against each other.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>i24NEWS said the preparation of the case could also be linked to Turkey\u2019s efforts to pursue action against Netanyahu through international channels.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The report also said Israeli officials hoped the case might not ultimately need to be filed, with the threat of potential legal action being considered as a deterrent against further Turkish moves. Netanyahu\u2019s office and Israel\u2019s Justice Ministry declined to comment on the report.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Turkey faces criticism over treatment of Kurds<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Turkey\u2019s conflict with the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK) began in 1984 and has killed more than 40,000 people over four decades.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Human rights groups have for years criticised Ankara over its treatment of Kurdish politicians and activists. Human Rights Watch said in its 2026 report that Turkey had yet to take steps to ensure equal rights for Kurds, amend what it described as abusive counterterrorism laws or release Kurdish political prisoners.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>It also highlighted the continued imprisonment of former pro-Kurdish HDP leaders Selahattin Demirta\u015f and Figen Y\u00fcksekda\u011f.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The criticism also extends to local politics. Human Rights Watch and other rights groups have documented the removal of elected Kurdish mayors and their replacement by government-appointed trustees, while the European Parliament has criticised the practice as undermining local democracy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Turkey maintains that its counterterrorism measures are aimed at the PKK and other groups it considers security threats, rather than Kurds as an ethnic community. The PKK is designated as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the European Union.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
