Jonathan Feldstein is attacked by Turkish State Media for his opinion piece on Turkey:
- Feldstein’s piece reflects a trend among Israeli writers to demonize Turkey, coinciding with the country’s strong criticism of Israel’s human rights abuses in Gaza and the West Bank and supporting international legal action against Israel’s alleged war crimes.
- This rhetoric serves to shift focus away from Israel’s own violations of international law, including ongoing settlement expansion and accusations of crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories.
- The coordinated rhetoric from Israeli officials and diaspora commentators aims to deflect attention from Israel’s ongoing violations of international law, including illegal settlements, occupation, and systemic oppression of Palestinians.
- Turkey’s Middle East Reset: A Precursor for Re-Escalation?
- Middle East Council on Global Affairs: 8/22
- Appease Turkey to halt re-escalation?
