A.P. Photo/ Sebastian Scheiner, File -- Israel- U.S.-Turkey exercise
Egypt led Arab states in canceling a meeting of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership meeting of foreign ministers, over prospective attendance by Israel’s Foreign Minister Lieberman [an unbeliever who once insulted a Egypt’s President, a Muslim, with reason].
Meanwhile, Turkey’s PM Erdogan now accuses Lieberman of having threatened to use nuclear weapons against Gaza during the recent war.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry called it "a shame that Egypt is serving as a negative influence in the region, by turning a meeting intended to benefit it and other states in the area into a political issue." (www.imra.org.il, 10/26).
Not only is Turkey’s accusation false. It is ridiculous. Israel kept Gaza civilian fatalities during the recent combat to a few hundred. Why would they resort to a weapon that would kill hundreds of thousands, spread a nuclear fallout on their own country, and turn the world against them in a dangerous way?
Sad to see Turkey adopt the Arab way of arguing, which is the antisemitic way, which is to accept every malicious rumor against Israel, paranoid as they are, and to dream up all sorts of false accusations against Israel.
