Türkiye prevents Israel’s participation in NATO maneuvers
Türkiye has prevented Israel’s participation in the annual maneuvers of NATO (NATO). The Turkish announcement came after Israeli diplomats held a meeting about two weeks ago with the team that coordinates the training in NATO, and with the Bulgarian delegation with the organization, and there was great enthusiasm on their part on Israel’s participation. The Turks objected to all forms of cooperation between NATO and Israel, including joint meetings and training. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at the NATO summit last July: It is impossible for NATO to continue his partnership with the Israeli government & quot;. Turkish officials said at that time: & quot; Turkey is looking at the massacre committed by Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza as a violation of the founding principles of NATO, and believes that Israel’s actions there violate international law and global human rights & quot;. The Turkish blockade may lead to Israel’s participation in the annual maneuvers. The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper adds that NATO decisions, as we remember, are made unanimously, and in the absence of a valid partnership agreement, there is no bureaucratic method to compel Turkey to allow Israel to participate in the official activities of the alliance, which includes 32 countries from North America and Europe as members. An Israeli political source said that Türkiye chose to use the veto as a political tool. He added that & quot; Türkiye’s position is harmful to regional cooperation and the ability of the alliance to deal with global challenges. & Nbsp;
