The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement Friday evening in response to Turkey's request for an Interpol Red Notice against PM Benjamin Netanyahu. According to a report by Abu Ali Express, the PMO called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an 'antisemitic dictator' who massacres Kurds, shelters Hamas terrorists, occupies half of Cyprus, and now seeks to extend his aggression to Syria. 'Israel will not tolerate this,' the statement said, dismissing Erdogan's move as a 'pathetic attempt to intimidate.'
The Prime Minister's Office issued a strongly worded statement Friday evening—hours after Turkey formally requested an Interpol Red Notice for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an 'antisemitic dictator' and warning against any attempt to extend Turkish aggression to Syria.
The statement, reported by Abu Ali Express, accuses Erdogan of massacring Kurds, providing shelter to Hamas terrorists, occupying half of Cyprus, and holding a record number of journalists and political opponents in prison. 'Now he seeks to extend his aggression against Israel also to Syria. Israel will not tolerate this,' the PMO said.
The Zioneer reported earlier today that Turkey had submitted a formal request to Interpol, prompting an initial response from Israel at 17:57. The current statement is the first full official response from the Prime Minister's Office. Ankara and Jerusalem have been engaged in a prolonged diplomatic conflict, with Erdogan repeatedly accusing Israel of genocide and Israel branding Erdogan an antisemitic dictator, as The Zioneer has documented in prior coverage.
