Hakan Fidan

Ahead of the NATO summit, Israel is calling for an international rebuke of comments by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar warned: “The Jewish people know all too well what happens when words like these are allowed to go unanswered.”

President Isaac Herzog responded to criticism from Turkey's foreign minister, reaffirmed Israel's role in fighting terrorism, and urged Israelis to preserve national unity.
