Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz escalated rhetoric against Turkey on Thursday, accusing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of dragging the country into dangerous military adventures in Syria, Shehab Wire reported. Katz warned that Israel would not permit any Turkish action it views as a security threat to the country.
The statement represents a sharp increase in public tensions between the two regional powers, which have maintained competing military and political interests in Syria for years. Turkey's involvement in Syrian affairs, particularly its military operations against Kurdish groups and support for various opposition factions, has repeatedly drawn criticism from Israeli officials concerned about regional stability and Israeli security.
