Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz made statements targeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Türkiye. These statements were linked to Israel's internal political difficulties and pre-election collapse. Katz defended himself in the face of international backlash over the actions in Gaza.
Çelik's statement from his virtual media account is as follows:
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz's lowly and excessive statements targeting our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and our country are a clear indication of the deep political despair and exhaustion that the Israeli administration has fallen into.
The Israeli government thinks that it can cover up its stuckness in domestic politics and pre-election collapse by attacking Turkey and our President.
These unfounded accusations and smear campaigns targeting Turkey will not be enough to hide the Israeli administration's genocidal record in Gaza and its expansionist and aggressive policies throughout the region.
Katz's open threat of death to the actors taking responsibility in the peace and ceasefire negotiations is a new manifestation of Israel's thuggish approach, which completely disregards international law, human rights and global conscience.
Türkiye under the leadership of our President; will not submit to any threats, provocations or blackmail. Our country; It will continue to resolutely defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, the cause of historical justice and permanent peace in the region, and be the loud voice of truth against the oppressor.
