Sharjah 24 – Reuters: Israel's foreign minister on Monday called on NATO to expel Turkey as a member of the organisation, in a move likely to further raise tensions between the countries.

"In light of Turkish President Erdogan's threats to invade Israel and his dangerous rhetoric, Foreign Minister Israel Katz instructed diplomats ... to urgently engage with all NATO members, calling for the condemnation of Turkey and demanding its expulsion from the regional alliance," the foreign ministry said.
