Israel Urges NATO to Expel Turkey Amid Escalating Tensions

Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, has called for NATO to expel Turkey in response to Turkish President Erdogan's threats to invade Israel and his inflammatory rhetoric. The move is likely to heighten tensions between the two nations significantly.

Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, on Monday called on NATO to expel Turkey from the organization. This move is anticipated to escalate the already high tensions between the two countries.

Katz directed diplomats to engage urgently with all NATO members to condemn Turkey in light of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's threats to invade Israel and his dangerous rhetoric. The foreign ministry added that the goal is to demand Turkey's expulsion from the regional alliance.

The call for expulsion focuses on Erdogan's recent statements, which Israel views as a direct threat to its security and stability in the region.
