  "account": "Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin stated on Monday that a new Israeli government will serve as a test to determine if tensions with Turkey are solely driven by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration or reflect broader Israeli policy. Kalin emphasized that Ankara is closely monitoring the government formation process led by Gadi Eisenkot in Israel. He cautioned that if Turkey is being branded as an enemy state by the Israeli state, it would be a dangerous path to take. Kalin highlighted that Turkey has no bilateral disputes with Israel unrelated to the Palestinian issue, which he considers the root cause of the current crisis. He reiterated Turkey's recognition of Israel's right to exist and called for Israel to treat Palestinians fairly, end the occupation, and cease its annexation efforts. Kalin noted that every deterioration in relations has resulted from Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and expressed his belief that Israelis, especially those outside Netanyahu’s Likud party, recognize the country's isolation on the international stage due to its policies over the past few years. He suggested that Israel is facing more criticism than Turkey does, urging Israel to reconsider its policies. Kalin acknowledged the widening of tensions between Turkey and Israel, attributing it to Israel's expansionism in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Syria. He reiterated Turkey's stance against picking a fight with Israel, stating that Israel must change its course.",
