Concerns Over Turkey's Relations with Israel

I am concerned by Turkey. I'm concerned by their belligerent

statements. I am concerned by their attitude towards

Israel, and unfortunately, there is a very wide array of, uh,

belligerent statements-

Oh, yeah

... toxic statements-

Incredible, yeah

... by Erdogan, by his, uh, senior officials against Israel

that are really warmongering. So, uh, I'm less concerned about

Saudi. I am disappointed that yet another deal has been made in the

Middle East without American involvement-

Yeah

... and without anything good, uh, coming of, of it, uh, for Israel.

But what concerns me the most is, uh, Turkey's war footing and

the diplomatic strides that they are making.

I think, uh, that should be a concern for the State of

Israel.

I think the IDF starts to assess, uh, Turkey

differently than how we have been assessing them for a long, long time as

a result of the diplomatic actions and statements, but also as a

result of the type of deals that we see here.

So mostly focused on Turkey, but we'll have to wait and see the

details. If we look into, you know, Israeli history, there have been many

pacts of hostile nations against Israel.

Almost all of them today are relegated to history, and Israel

is still here and

strong, but that doesn't mean that we should take things lightly.

Right.
