Türkiye's Foreign Ministry has strongly rejected a coordinated campaign of "baseless allegations" by Israeli officials, accusing the Israeli government of attempting to deflect international criticism through disinformation.

In a press statement issued on Tuesday, the ministry said the recent claims made by Israeli officials were "part of a disinformation campaign" orchestrated with "calculated timing."

"The baseless allegations recently circulated by Israeli officials in a coordinated manner and with calculated timing are part of a disinformation campaign," the ministry said.

The statement accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government of deliberately distorting criticism directed at Israel in an effort to divert attention from its actions in the region.

"Netanyahu and his partners in crime deliberately distort any criticism directed at them and seek to divert attention through a systematic propaganda effort," the ministry said.

According to the ministry, such efforts have failed to persuade the international community or obscure what it described as Israel's "genocide in Gaza," as well as its policies of occupation, annexation, and actions that undermine regional stability.

Reaffirming Türkiye's foreign policy objectives, the ministry said Ankara seeks a Middle East where all countries and peoples can live in peace, stability, and prosperity.

"Türkiye's objective is for all countries and peoples in the region to live in peace, stability, and prosperity," the statement said.

The ministry also called on Israel to adopt a "constructive and peaceful policy," while reiterating Türkiye's commitment to voicing its position on developments in the region.

"With this understanding, we once again call on Israel to pursue a constructive and peaceful policy. Türkiye will continue to speak the truth," the statement concluded. (ILKHA)
