Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has instructed diplomats around the world to lobby governments to take action against Turkey following its threats to invade the Jewish state, Channel 12 News reported Tuesday.
According to the report, Katz is seeking to pressure governments to condemn President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as well as remove Turkey from NATO, due to Ankara’s violation of the organization’s founding principles.
The NATO treaty states that members are “determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law.”
