Israeli defence minister warns Turkey against 'threatening its security'

Israel's defence minister said that president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is "dragging Turkey into dangerous adventures in Syria," indicating that Ankara risks consequences for its ties with Damascus.

"Israel will not allow any actor to threaten its security," Israel Katz said in a post on X.

"It would be better for Erdogan to continue his detached-from-reality, fanciful rhetoric against Israel in the Turkish Grand National Assembly than to attempt to test Israel's determination to defend itself."
