Turkish Press: Dendias-Katz Meeting Aimed at Ankara

The Turkish press is strongly commenting on the Dendias-Katz meeting, presenting it as a move aimed at Turkey and part of a broader effort to encircle the country. Reports refer to an “anti-Turkish axis” and a growing alignment between Greece and Israel, expressing concern about the military and diplomatic balance that Turkey has established in the region. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is reported to have said that anyone harboring “imperial ambitions” will find the Israeli and Greek sides opposing them. This meeting is interpreted as an attempt to balance power against Turkey's growing influence in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea.
