JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s foreign minister on Monday called on NATO to expel Turkey as a member of the organization, in a move likely to further raise tensions between the countries.
“In light of Turkish President Erdogan’s threats to invade Israel and his dangerous rhetoric, Foreign Minister Israel Katz instructed diplomats … to urgently engage with all NATO members, calling for the condemnation of Turkey and demanding its expulsion from the regional alliance,” the foreign ministry said.
