Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to portray T\u00fcrkiye as a new threat as part of “cheap politics” aimed at gaining an electoral advantage, T\u00fcrkiye’s Communications Directorate said Friday, warning that Israel’s increasingly aggressive threat rhetoric poses serious risks to regional and global stability.<\/p>\n

The directorate strongly rejected remarks by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office concerning President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, describing them as an “impertinent rant” devoid of historical facts and political seriousness and another sign of the desperation of an administration seeking to evade accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

It said the “cheap politics” pursued by Netanyahu and his associates, which it said was also designed to secure an advantage in elections, has no resonance in Israeli society, the region, the international community or T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n

The directorate said the remarks by an Israeli government facing genocide accusations before international justice mechanisms were a telling demonstration of how deeply T\u00fcrkiye’s voice and Erdo\u011fan’s refusal to remain silent in the face of injustice have unsettled the Netanyahu administration.<\/p>\n

It also warned that Israel’s election campaign has increasingly fallen under the influence of irresponsible security-driven populism and an intensifying politics of threats.<\/p>\n

“The Netanyahu government’s effort to construct T\u00fcrkiye as a new threat figure is also part of this cheap politics,” the directorate said.<\/p>\n

It warned that pursuing a politics of threats and escalating tensions for the sake of domestic political competition carries serious risks not only for Israeli society but also for regional and global peace and stability.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye will continue, as it has in the past, to stand against oppressors and alongside the oppressed and firmly defend peace, justice and stability in the region regardless of the cost, the directorate said.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Israel’s Oct. 27 elections, Netanyahu’s Likud party has intensified its campaign rhetoric targeting T\u00fcrkiye and President Erdo\u011fan. <\/a><\/p>\n

A new Likud billboard in Tel Aviv features Erdo\u011fan alongside Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani under the message, “They want Netanyahu to lose. Don’t let them win.” The campaign comes amid increasingly hostile rhetoric toward T\u00fcrkiye and Erdo\u011fan from Israeli politicians in the run-up to the vote.<\/p>\n
