Turkey Blocks Israeli Bid to Open NATO Office, Says New U.S. Radar Will Not Share Info with Israel
(Hurriyet-Turkey) Turkey has blocked an Israeli move to open a representation office at NATO headquarters, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Sunday. He also insisted that information gathered by a U.S. radar system to be stationed in Turkey's Malatya province as part of a NATO missile-shield project would not be shared with Israel. U.S. officials have said they planned to fuse data from radars in Turkey, Israel and other sites to create a comprehensive picture of the missile threat to the region. Davutoglu also said Turkey was seeking support for an application to the International Court of Justice to secure a legal condemnation of Israel's Gaza blockade.
