Numerous arrests ahead of NATO summit in Turkey

In Turkey on 6 July 2026, arrests increased ahead of the NATO summit in the country. Deutsche Welle and i24NEWS reported a new wave of arrests, and the Jerusalem Post reported that Turkey arrested anti-NATO protesters. A human rights advocate criticised the wave of arrests, according to Der Spiegel.

The Associated Press and NPR reported that Trump, who won big spending promises from NATO last year, would try to enforce them at the summit. Netanyahu warned Trump against selling F-35 jets and fighter jet parts to Turkey, saying it would disturb the balance of power, and Al Jazeera published questions ahead of a meeting between Erdoğan and Trump at the summit.
