With relations between Iran and Israel reaching a breaking point, it is now considered a matter of time before conflicts erupt in the region. Not only relations between Iran and Israel, but also relations between Turkey and Israel have been going very badly recently. Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz’s scandalous statements targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkey are causing relations between the two countries to deteriorate even further. Finally, following the death of Hamas Political Bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh, Turkey declared a day of mourning and the Turkish flag at the embassy in Tel Aviv was lowered to half-staff. Israeli Foreign Minister Katz announced that the highest-ranking Turkish diplomat in Israel had been summoned to the Foreign Ministry following this incident, continuing to fan the flames. This week, the Israeli Foreign Minister took his scandalous post of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein one step further. Ankara immediately responded very harshly to the insulting statement made in Turkish, Hebrew and English on the X social media account.
UGLY PROVOCATION
Today, a drone appeared over the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv. The drone, which raised an Israeli flag above the Turkish flag at the embassy, was flown by Ohad Ben Hamo. Speaking to local media, Hamo made provocative statements against Turkey. His social media comments included insulting statements against the Turkish people and government. The Jewish News Agency in the US shared the image on its X account with the message, “Turkey is preventing NATO from defending Israel.”
