The ruling Islamist party in Turkey, along with its far-right nationalist ally, has launched a covert plan to target perceived Israeli and Jewish interests, which they deem an existential threat to their political survival and grip on power in a nation of 88 million predominantly Sunni Muslims.
The multifaceted and layered plan, confirmed to Nordic Monitor by multiple sources, entails crafting a hateful narrative to vilify Israel through the predominantly government-controlled Turkish media, launching a crackdown on Jewish networks and their affiliates via judicial and administrative measures, and issuing confidential circulars across government agencies to obstruct the activities of Jewish businesspeople and their associates.
The plan proposes a range of actions, including scapegoating and conflating Jews with the Israeli government, deliberately spreading misinformation, and conducting mass surveillance of Turkey’s Jewish minority.
