Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has issued a sharp rebuke of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, following an arrest warrant issued by the Istanbul prosecutor\u2019s office for 37 senior Israeli officials\u2014including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2014on charges of genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n
In a message shared on social media in both Turkish and Hebrew, Gallant lashed out at Erdogan, saying: “Erdogan, take your arrest warrants and get lost. If anyone deserves to stand trial, it\u2019s you for the massacre of Kurds. Israel is strong and fears no one.” His remarks reflect the Israeli government’s deep dissatisfaction with Turkey\u2019s legal efforts to hold Israeli officials accountable for military actions in the Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n
Gallant further asserted that Turkey would have no role in Gaza\u2019s future, stating that Ankara would only be able to observe the region “through binoculars.” This statement appears to be a response to speculation that Turkey might participate in an international peacekeeping force in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
