1in.am Israel has long been unimpressed by Turkey's hypocrisy. Erdoğan is an anti-Semitic dictator who has orchestrated the massacre of Kurds, supports the massacre organized by HAMAS, and oppresses his own people. Israel will continue to act decisively against Turkey's attempts to destabilize the region and any threats to its security. On August 21, a statement with this content was released by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On the same day, the President of Turkey instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to initiate an international "red notice" against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is accused of "using violence" against the Sumud fleet. If this procedure is applied, a decision for Netanyahu's arrest may be made.
The statement from the office of the Israeli Prime Minister followed a cabinet meeting. The Jerusalem Post has learned that during several hours of discussions, "Prime Minister Netanyahu also gave relevant instructions to the head of the intelligence services." The day before, it became known that the director of Mossad, Roman Hofmann, during a phone conversation with Syria's Foreign Minister Shaibani, "urged to refrain from steps to militarize Syrian territory."
The Turkish-Israeli tension has entered a phase of acute competition between intelligence and military reconnaissance. It is particularly noteworthy that in this context, Azerbaijan has filed a lawsuit against the American CNN television network. The reason is a broadcast report in which the prestigious American media claimed that "Israel has deployed special forces and surveillance equipment in Azerbaijan's southern regions."
At this stage, this could provoke Turkey's dissatisfaction. Azerbaijan also has ties with Syria. Minval-politika reported that previously Turkish and Israeli negotiators "met several times in Baku." If the Turkish-Israeli tension does not de-escalate, and there are no signs of such, then the Azerbaijani authorities are expected to face a rather difficult situation. Will Aliyev try to "reconcile" Erdoğan and Netanyahu?
