It is not related right now to the historical debate,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">&#8220;Turkey has always tried to say there was no genocide and no massacre, and tried to change institutions around the world, in Paris, Washington and even at the Holocaust museum. This issue is part of a whole system in which Turkey is trying to escape its history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shain warned about Turkey\u2019s strengthening role in the region, especially as Turkey is about to host 32 members of NATO during next week\u2019s summit, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/article-900436\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">US President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">&#8220;Israel is in a huge struggle in the world over its positioning and the positioning of its image, and one of the issues that threatens us deeply is that Turkey and others are portraying us as having committed genocide in Gaza.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Shain explained that Turkey is capitalizing on Israel\u2019s lower standing in the wake of the war in Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">\u201cTurkey had enormous concern after the 12-day war that Israel would establish itself as a regional power in alliance with America. Right now, when the war in Iran has not been decided, Turkey is growing stronger, and the Gulf states are examining their ties with the United States. Turkey is exploiting its unique position as a power, and its hostility toward Israel is growing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turkey is becoming stronger in the region, and its hostility toward Israel is deepening, Prof. Yossi Shain, an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[233798,239018,42,59788,47,43,40,38,41,39,1582],"class_list":["post-522496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-armenian-genocide","tag-denial-of-the-armenian-genocide","tag-headlines","tag-israel-turkey","tag-middle-east","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-turkey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
