Following Mevlut Cavusoglu's visit to Israel yesterday, Israeli state television reported last night on its main newscast that concerns and questions were expressed on the Turkish side to the Israeli government regarding an upcoming Israeli military exercise to take place on Cypriot soil.
Specifically, as reported by the same source, in the context of a large-scale military exercise currently underway in Israel, in the coming days Israeli commando units will conduct an exercise in Cyprus, in which "several warplanes" will participate, without giving further details.
During the preparation stage of the exercise in Cyprus, the Turkish side requested clarifications from Israel on the purpose of the exercise.
As the state TV medium reported, the Israeli side, taking into account the warming climate in bilateral Turkish-Israeli relations, "conveyed messages to senior officials of the Turkish government, clarifying that this is a domestic exercise and that it does not involve any other content."
