Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a statement responding to the Turkish interior minister, who reportedly threatened and dreamed of ruling Jerusalem. Katz stated that Jerusalem is not Constantinople and Israel is not the crumbling Crusader Empire, but a strong and determined nation that has proven its ability to defend itself. He affirmed that Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years and will remain Israel's capital forever, while the Ottoman Empire that the minister and President Erdogan dream of has collapsed and will never return. A monitored channel indicates the statement was made public through official channels.
