President Isaac Herzog pushed back against a verbal attack by a Turkish minister, asserting Israel's permanence and positive global role. The statement follows recent Turkish criticism of Israel.
President Isaac Herzog responded on Sunday evening to a verbal attack by a Turkish government minister, declaring that "Israel is here to stay, it is a blessing to the world." The president's statement, reported by Israeli media, did not name the minister but is understood as a direct rebuttal of recent anti-Israel rhetoric from Turkish officials. Earlier this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the international community to stop Israel, as The Zioneer previously reported. Herzog's response reaffirms a firm Israeli position against foreign pressure while maintaining diplomatic language.
