Israel's Minister of Tourism called for travelers to boycott Turkey
follows reports that Ankara had classified Israel as a "strategic
threat," Jerusalem Post reported.
Tourism Minister Stas Meseznikov on Sunday urged Israeli vacationers
to boycott Turkey to protest that country's apparent designation of
Israel as a central threat in a policy document.
His statement, the latest in the rhetorical war between the two
countries, came in response to press reports that the Turkish National
Security Council (NSC) had warned that Israeli actions threatened
the region and the country, because of the regional unrest it caused.
At the same time, the Security Council removed Syria, Bulgaria,
Georgia and Armenia, as well as Iran, from the list of countries that
pose a threat to Turkey, according to Turkish media outlets cited
late Saturday by the Israeli media.
