Israel will defend citizens ‘anywhere in world,’ Bennett vows amid Istanbul jitters
Authorities reportedly investigating after man in Turkey says he was nearly kidnapped before fighting off attacker; IDF orders all soldiers to leave country immediately
==Israel will not hesitate to act on foreign soil to protect its citizens, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday, amid swirling warnings of an imminent Iranian plot against Israelis.
One Israeli man in the city reportedly told authorities that he had nearly been kidnapped but managed to escape, but others defiantly said they would remain in the popular tourist hotspot or refused to cancel plans to travel there.
“In recent days, we have witnessed attempts to harm Israelis in various destinations abroad,” Bennett said during a memorial ceremony for the victims of the First Lebanon War, in his first comments on the alleged attack plot.
Israeli authorities on Monday urged citizens to leave Istanbul immediately, and reconsider non-essential travel to other parts of Turkey, warning that Iranian agents were ready to kidnap or kill Israelis there as Tehran seeks revenge for the slayings of officers blamed on Israel.
“The State of Israel’s security forces are doing everything [in their power] to thwart these attacks and to neutralize the attackers and their operators,” the prime minister said. “We will not hesitate to use the power of the State of Israel anywhere in the world, for the protection of our citizens.”
Bennett spoke hours after the IDF issued a directive ordering all soldiers in Turkey to leave immediately. The army has also canceled any future permits allowing soldiers to visit or even take a connecting flight via one of Turkey’s airports.
Channel 12 reported that Israeli authorities were looking into a report from a citizen who said he was almost kidnapped while in Turkey. The kidnapper made physical contact with the person before he managed to flee at the last minute.
The claim is being investigated by both Israeli and Turkish authorities, who are already hunting for Iranian agents operating in the country, the network said Tuesday.
Israeli authorities have issued warnings to roughly 1,000 Israelis who were currently in Iran, asking them to leave immediately.
There was significant concern among the security establishment over the fact that some Israelis were still refusing to leave the country, Channel 12 said, without citing a source.
