AMMONNEWS - Israeli Tourism Minister Stas Mesezhnikov called Israelis
to boycott Turkey, citing that the boycott is for Israeli 'national
honor' and urged Israelis to stop traveling to Turkey for vacation
following reports that Turkey classified Israel as a 'strategical
threat,' Israeli media reported on Sunday.
The Israeli Minister's statements came after Turkish media reported
on Saturday that the Turkish National Security Council approved
significant changes in a document which contains threats against
Turkey claiming that Israel is now a major threat to the country.
Israeli newspapers indicated the document stated that Israel's actions
may cause countries in the region to begin an "arms race."
The Council document decided to remove Iran- which was previously a
major threat to Ankara- ,Syria, Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia from
the list of countries that pose a threat to Turkey, Haaretz reported.
Relations between the two countries hit a new low last May after
Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish peace activists on board the
flotilla that attempted to breach Israel's naval blockade of the
Gaza Strip.
