I don't think that it won't even stop at Turkey. Just think if Israel isn't allowed to enter the Eurovision Song Contest or to trade with the European Union. What then? For now, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who was regarded as a more moderate politican, sparked controversy Wednesday with provocative statements targeting Turkey during a live Bloomberg interview.
Bennett described Turkey as a "new strategic threat" to Israel and hinted at possible action against Ankara, saying "the choice is up to Türkiye" and warning "after Iran, we won't stay idle." What does he want? The return of the Great Ataturk perhaps? His secularist, more Western-oriented ideology and focus on Turkish national interest over Pan-Islamism is believed to be a pragmatic, neutral foundation for future Turkey-Israel relations
