Turkish TV Series May Lead to New Crises with Israel

(Today's Zaman-Turkey) Bahadir Ozdener, a scriptwriter for the Turkish television series "Valley of the Wolves," has started work on a new spinoff, "Valley of the Wolves: Palestine," which might lead to more crises between Turkey and Israel. Ozdener said they could have been even harsher in their criticism of Israel in the series. "We were trying to show that Israel and the United States are behind acts of terrorism," he said. In one part of the series, the main character rescues a man who was held at the Israeli Embassy. Ozdener also said that they had featured a Jewish doctor who was involved in an organ mafia. Israel has complained that Turkey should be more careful about how it depicts Israel in the television series.
