Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, speaking to Anadolu Agency on Monday, said that Israel is seeking to declare Turkey as a “new enemy.”

Fidan emphasised that what he initially viewed as a political message aimed at influencing public opinion appears to be now evolving into a more systematic state strategy under the Netanyahu government.

“After Iran, Israel cannot live without an enemy.”
