The Presidency's Head of Communications, Fahrettin Altun, shared a post on his social media account regarding the attack on the TRT News crew in Israel.
In his post, Head of Communications Altun said:
“Journalists covering the massacre in Gaza and Lebanon are targeted not only by Israeli security forces but also by Israeli occupiers disguised as civilians.
The most recent example of this threat was when an Israeli occupier tried to disrupt a live broadcast by the TRT crew through harassment of the team.
The detention of TRT staff by Israeli security forces instead of the provocateur, along with the investigation launched, highlights the current state of complete absurdity in Israel.
Regardless of the actions of the murderer Israel, journalists from Gaza and Lebanon will always be there to maintain the communication corridor."
