******* foreign minister urges NATO expel Turkey over threat to enter *******

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -*******’s foreign minister urged NATO to expel Turkey on Monday after its President Tayyip Erdogan threatened his country might enter ******* as it had entered Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh in the past.

“In light of Turkish President Erdogan’s threats to invade ******* and his dangerous rhetoric, Foreign Minister ******* Katz instructed diplomats … to urgently engage with all NATO members, calling for the condemnation of Turkey and demanding its expulsion from the regional alliance,” the ministry said.

Erdogan, a fierce critic of *******’s war against ****** in Gaza, said in a speech on Sunday: “We must be very strong so that ******* can’t do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them.”

He did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.

“Erdogan is following in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein and threatening to ******* *******. He should remember what happened there and how it ended,” Katz said in the statement.

“Turkey, which hosts the ****** headquarters responsible for ********** attacks against *******, has become a member of the Iranian axis of evil, alongside ******, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in Yemen,” he said.

Once close regional allies, relations between ******* and Turkey have been deteriorating for more than a decade.

Bilateral trade weathered many diplomatic storms, reaching billions of dollars a year, but Turkey this month said they would halt all bilateral trade with ******* until the war ends and aid can flow unhindered into Gaza.
