Critical 'Türkiye' confession from Netanyahu at the press conference! Answer to the question 'Possible conflict'

MİLLİYET.COM.TR / Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an "allegedly rare" press conference in Tel Aviv, shortly before the general elections to be held across the country on October 27.

'ATTACK INSTEAD OF LIMITATION'

According to Srugim, at the meeting, Netanyahu told reporters about Israel's "new security concept" and said, "From now on, there will be a transition from the policy of limitation to the policy of direct prevention, initiative and attack. In this direction, the potential for establishing all kinds of alliances will be evaluated."

However, Netanyahu pointed out the need to rapidly increase Israel's defense budget and stated that 450 billion shekels were allocated for this purpose.

'WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS WITH TRUMP'

The most striking moment of the press conference was Netanyahu's answer to the Türkiye question. When asked by the Srugim reporter, "Is Israel ready for a conflict with Turkey? How does Ankara's close relations with the USA affect such a possibility?" Netanyahu said, "We have a difference of opinion with Trump on this issue. However, as you know, he has close relations with President Erdoğan. While Trump thinks about the USA, I have to think about Israel. As I said, we have a difference of opinion regarding Türkiye."

'WE TAKE ACTION'

Regarding the question of possible conflict, he said, "Fortunately, we did not come to the point of conflict. We heard that Turkey would expand its influence in northern Syria. We took action in this direction and prevented them."

'I HOPE WE DO NOT ENTER INTO CONFLICT'

Netanyahu said, "I hope we do not get into a direct conflict with Türkiye. At least that's what I'm trying for." However, he added that Israel is considering and preparing for various options, including regional alliances.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Netanyahu made brazen statements targeting Turkey at the United Nations General Assembly held in New York last month, saying, "They want to take over Syria. They call for the destruction of Israel every day."

Turkey reacted harshly to Netanyahu, saying, "The use of the UN platform by the genocidal Netanyahu, for whom an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, for unfounded accusations against Türkiye is incompatible with the ideals of peace, law and dialogue represented by the United Nations."
