Why It Matters
Diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Israel remain tense, especially after the Gaza conflict. As Türkiye's former interior minister, Efkan Ala plays an active role in foreign policy issues.
In his post on his NSosyal account, Ala reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who targeted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his speech at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.
Efkan Ala said:
"It is obvious that the delusions made about our President by Netanyahu, the owner of the policies that turned the region into a bloodbath, are aimed at covering up the crimes they committed. The region should not be allowed to be dragged into a permanent cycle of instability with the policies of Israel under the Netanyahu administration, and the international community should now take a louder stance. As Turkey, we will continue to express the truth."
