Turkey Included in IDF's Annual Threat Assessment
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - The IDF added Turkey to its list of threats in an annual assessment for the coming year for the first time, in light of the country's growing aggressiveness in the region, the Times of Israel learned Tuesday. Turkish President Erdogan routinely speaks out against Israel and allows Palestinian terror groups to operate in his country. The assessment indicated that policies pursued by Erdogan, whose Islamist party is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, were cause for concern. Yet those issues were not inherent to Turkey's outlook and would not necessarily outlive Erdogan.
