Israel and Turkey declare cease-fire in twitter war
|
[Ynet] In recent days, foreign ministry spokesmen in Jerusalem and Ankara have exchanged particularly harsh tweets following Erdogan's verbal attack against Israel; as both sides understand the explosive potential of these exchanges, they decide to make peace and erase them.
| Not peace so much as a hudna, no doubt. |
In recent days, Israel and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
have been waging a tit-for-tat twitter war following the verbal attack by Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
over the metal-detector crisis on the Temple Mount, which intensified the diplomatic rift and could have led to the return of ambassadors to their respective countries for consultations.
Following urgent messages between Ankara and Jerusalem, the hostile tweets were suddenly erased from the Twitter accounts of the two foreign ministries.
The ceasefire came after frantic talks between bigwigs of the two foreign ministries, who saw how the hard-won reconciliation between the countries collapses before their eyes.
Senior officials in the two foreign ministries who understood the potential of the crisis hastened to calm the situation and agreed to a cease-fire--starting with Twitter. It is not clear whether this cease-fire will last beyond Twitter and whether Erdogan will continue his attacks on Israel in the coming days.
In Istanbul, a large demonstration initiated by the IHH organization,
| ...whose full name translates as Humanitarian Relief Foundation, is the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey, famous for the several increasingly unsuccessful Gaza Flotillas they organized. It was created by Hamas as a tool to funnel international funds to the Gaza terror group, and also has long-standing links to Al Qaeda and ISIS, for which they were caught running guns into Syria a few years ago. IHH is a proud member of the Saudi-based umbrella organization Union of Good (Ittilaf al-Kheir), a Treasury-listed terror entity... |
entitled "Free Jerusalem" is scheduled for Sunday. The organizers of the demonstration say that a million participants are expected at the protest.
The tweets from the Israeli Foreign Ministry caused the Turks a fair amount of damage. All the Israeli representatives in the world retweeted them and they have gained great popularity and exposure in Arab nations, most of which are not fond of Erdogan.
| ...the real reason why the Turks decided it was time to stop, one suspects. |
