Via Times of Israel:
Minister of Economics and Trade Naftali Bennett criticized Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his behavior since Israel’s apology to Turkey last week for the May 2010 Gaza flotilla incident in which nine Turkish nationals were killed.
“Since the apology was made public, it seems Erdogan is doing everything possible to make Israel regret it, while managing a personal, vitriolic campaign at the expense of Turkish-Israel relations,” Bennett, who is the head of the national religious Jewish Home party, wrote on his Facebook page, in a post titled “IDF fighters, we are always with you.”
Jewish Home’s Ayelet Shaked went further on Wednesday evening, calling Erdogan an “Islamist anti-Semite” on Channel 2 and reiterating that he was making Israel regret its apology.
Bennett warned Erdogan in his post that should “any future terror be aimed at us, our response will be no less severe,” adding that ”no country is doing Israel a favor by renewing ties with it.”
Bennett ended his post by praising the IDF, telling its fighters that it is their duty to do everything to protect Israeli citizens, making sure they know that “the people of Israel are behind you.”
