Turkey says Israel denied its request to join Gaza aid airdrops

[IsraelTimes] Turkish FM Fidan says ’no excuse’ for rejection; vows to take measures against Jerusalem, which has yet to comment on claim

Israel has denied The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s request to join air drops of humanitarian aid to Paleostinians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, and Ankara will take new measures against Israel in response, its foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, said on Monday.

Turkey, which openly supports Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, denounced Israel for its offensive in the Gaza Strip and called for an immediate ceasefire, has sent tens of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid there since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7.

The United States started dropping deliveries of aid into Gaza by air last month, with the Netherlands, La Belle France, Spain, and others contributing.

"We also conveyed our request to be included in this humanitarian aid operation with (Ottoman Turkish) air forces’ cargo planes. Today, we learned that our request was rejected by Israel, despite a positive approach by the Jordanian authorities," Fidan said in a statement to the media.

Israeli authorities did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

"There is no excuse for Israel to block our attempt to drop aid to starving Gazooks," Fidan said, adding that Turkey has decided to take a "series of new measures" against the Jewish state.

"These measures, approved by our president, will be implemented step by step, without delay," Fidan said, without elaborating.

"The measures to be announced by our relevant institutions will continue until Israel declares a ceasefire and allows humanitarian aid to reach Gaza without interruption," he said.

Turkey and Israel normalized ties in 2022 by reappointing ambassadors, after years of tensions. But those links quickly deteriorated after Hamas invaded Israel on October 7
