'Better off delivering empty speeches': Katz warns Erdogan against 'dragging' Turkey into Syria

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday not to test Israel's determination to defend itself, accusing the Turkish leader of dragging his country into "dangerous adventures" in Syria.

"Erdogan is dragging Turkey into dangerous adventures in Syria. Israel will not allow any actor to threaten its security. Erdogan would be better off continuing to deliver empty, fantastical speeches against Israel in the Turkish parliament rather than testing Israel's determination to defend itself," Katz wrote on X/Twitter.
