    “After Iran, Israel cannot live without an enemy,” the foreign minister said in an interview with Anadolu Agency (AA).

    “We see that not only Netanyahu’s administration but also some figures in the opposition – though not all – are seeking to declare Turkiye the new enemy,” Fidan added.

    “This is a new development in Israel… turning into a state strategy,” he went on to say.

    Turkish-Israeli tensions escalated over the weekend when the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned US President Donald Trump about potential “sabotage” in the Iran ceasefire process – referring to Tel Aviv’s role.

    “We hope that the ceasefire will be fully implemented on the ground without giving any opportunity for possible provocations and sabotage,” he said.

    During a call with Trump, Erdogan urged that the ceasefire “not be compromised under any circumstances.”

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the Turkish president on Saturday saying, “Israel, under my leadership, will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan, who accommodates them, and massacred his own Kurdish citizens.”
