IDF soldiers targeted by Turkish 'state mechanism' of false accusations, Diaspora Ministry says
Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Director-General Avi Cohen Scali accused Erdogan of "leading an antisemitic policy toward the State of Israel."
The Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry has released studies highlighting Turkey's use of antisemitism as a diplomatic tool against Israel, including targeting Israeli soldiers through false accusations of "war crimes." The ministry identified two organizations, WOLAS and Freedom Watch Platform, as operating "civil society" groups that use open-source intelligence (OSINT) systems to identify IDF soldiers and civilians with dual citizenship, pursuing legal action against them with the government's knowledge.
The ministry asserts that this state mechanism is rooted in Turkey's education and religious systems, extending to international organizations, and aims to influence legal systems, international institutions, and public opinion worldwide.
