Presidency’s Director of Communications, Fahrettin Altun, shared a post on his social media account about the operations carried out by the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) and the Turkish National Police against Israeli intelligence.
In his post, Director of Communications Altun shared an excerpt from the statement made by President Erdoğan to journalists on December 6, 2023, on his return from Qatar upon being reminded of the news in the US Wall Street Journal that "Israel plans to assassinate Hamas members living outside Palestine, including Türkiye".
Altun shared the following words of President Erdoğan:
"They obviously do not know Türkiye, the Turks, and us. If they dare to make such a mistake, they should know that they will pay a very, very heavy price for it. If they dare to take such a step against Türkiye and Turkish people, they will be doomed to pay a price which they cannot recover from. Those who attempt such a thing should not forget that the consequences can be extremely serious. No one is unaware of Türkiye's progress in both intelligence and security fields worldwide. Additionally, we are not a newly established state. No one should forget that.”
