Ankara has already taken steps to improve relations with Egypt and Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed the opinion that an alliance of Islamic states is needed to counter threats from Israel. Erdogan made this statement at an event of the association of Islamic schools near Istanbul. His statement was related to the death of an American woman of Turkish origin during a protest against the expansion of settlements in the West Bank. The Israeli military is investigating information about her death as a result of shelling.
Erdogan stressed that the only way to counter the Israeli threat is to form a union of Islamic states. He also noted that Turkey's steps to improve relations with Egypt and Syria are aimed at creating a solidarity position against the threat of expansion, which also affects Lebanon and Syria. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to Erdogan's statements, calling them dangerous lies and a provocation. He also claimed that the Turkish leader was collaborating with Iran to destroy moderate Arab regimes in the region.
On July 28, the Turkish president spoke of the possibility of “interfering” in Israel, as happened in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh. Israeli Foreign Minister Katz responded to this statement by posting a photo collage of Erdogan and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. On July 30, the Israeli Foreign Ministry called on world leaders to exclude Turkey from NATO following Erdogan’s remarks. It is important to note that Turkey is asking to join BRICS.
