Israeli Haaretz daily called country’s policy "gangster diplomacy",
commenting on the recent developments in Israeli-Turkish
relations. "Our deputy foreign minister merely gave us second-rate
humiliation," the article says. The daily mentions that it is
ridiculous "when directors sit on high, uncomfortable chairs with their
feet barely touching the ground just to achieve a superior level."
Speaking about anti-Israeli series aired in Turkey, the Haaretz
recalls it is broadcasted on Star TV owned by Erdogan’s rival Aydin
Dogan. Thus, Turkish Premier "is innocent of the first accusations
against him".
Israeli newspaper wonders whether Turkey’s or Israel’s actions are
more moral. "If Israel had wanted to behave morally, it would have
recognized the Armenian genocide despite Turkish opposition, but it is
afraid that taking a moral stance on that issue would cost it dearly,"
the article reads.
