Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar lashed out at Turkey\u2019s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan<\/a> late Thursday night, following his comments that Israel was a \u201cburden that humanity can no longer bear\u201d on a TV broadcast.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNN T\u00fcrk, Fidan sharply attacked Israel and called for sanctions to be imposed on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter which way you look at it, there is no parameter to continue to bear these people,\u201d Fidan exclaimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael is not only Turkey\u2019s problem, and it is not only President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan<\/a>\u2019s problem,\u201d the Turkish foreign minister said. \u201cThese people have become a burden that humanity can no longer bear. The human conscience cannot bear it, political systems cannot sustain it, and economic systems cannot sustain it either.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone must step forward, take a diplomatic position, and impose the necessary sanctions on these people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurkish FM Hakan Fidan\u2019s sickening words are textbook incitement to genocide,\u201d Sa\u2019ar responded in a post on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

“Dehumanizing the Jewish people as an “unbearable burden” is the classic, horrific language of history\u2019s worst eliminationist regimes. The civilized world and Turkey’s NATO<\/a> allies must unequivocally condemn this explicit call for the erasure of Israel,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the same interview, Fidan addressed his country\u2019s relations with the US. The Turkish minister claimed that Washington was willing to lift the CAATSA sanctions previously imposed on Ankara, and that the US viewed Turkey as a key partner and a stabilizing force.<\/p>\n

According to Fidan, the Trump administration is reassessing its foreign and security policies, as well as its relations with allies, particularly against the backdrop of competition with China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regarding mediation efforts in the Middle East, Fidan said that the risk of a broader escalation remained high and that efforts to stop the war amounted to a race against time.<\/p>\n

He revealed that Turkey had maintained intensive communication channels and conveyed messages at the request of the parties, including during exchanges of fire.<\/p>\n

The minister praised strategic cooperation with Qatar and Pakistan, adding that US President Donald Trump had thanked the three countries for their contributions to the mediation process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar lashed out at Turkey\u2019s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan late Thursday night, following his comments…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[65,3163,85,46,43,26719,2488,1582,239223,1032],"class_list":["post-522884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-gideon-saar","tag-hakan-fidan","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-recep-tayyip-erdogan","tag-trump-administration","tag-turkey","tag-turkey-israel-relations","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522884","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=522884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
