His remarks on Wednesday have sparked widespread media attention.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mehr News Agency citing Al-Nashra, Bennett claimed that any Islamic coalition would be automatically considered a &#8220;terrorist&#8221; act and a threat against Israel. He added that Tel Aviv would not remain indifferent to such a development.<\/p>\n<p>The former Israeli prime minister had previously expressed concern about Turkey&#8217;s attempts to provoke Saudi Arabia against Israel and establish a Sunni axis composed of several countries, including nuclear-armed Pakistan. According to Bennett, Ankara\u2019s aim is to create a coalition network that could jeopardize Israel\u2019s security.<\/p>\n<p>These comments come amid fluctuating and tense political and security relations between Turkey and Israel in recent years.
