STATE OF ISRAEL
Dear Government of Türkiye,
The State of Israel extends its respect to the Republic of Türkiye and reaffirms its commitment to combating terrorism and promoting regional security.
Recognizing the security challenges posed by terrorist organizations, Israel wishes to express its readiness to explore practical avenues of cooperation with Türkiye in efforts directed against the PKK, should such cooperation be welcomed by the Turkish Government and conducted in accordance with international law.
Israel is prepared to discuss the provision of military intelligence support, including the gaining and sharing of relevant military and strategic intelligence, analytical capabilities, technical intelligence assets, and other intelligence resources that may assist in improving situational awareness and counterterrorism coordination.
In addition, Israel is willing to consider, at the request of and in close coordination with the Government of Türkiye, further forms of security cooperation. These could include intelligence liaison, counterterrorism expertise, training exchanges, and other mutually agreed forms of assistance that respect the sovereignty and legal frameworks of both states.
Israel believes that pragmatic security cooperation between our nations can contribute to protecting civilian lives, countering terrorist threats, and fostering greater regional stability.
Should the Government of Türkiye be interested, Israel would welcome the opportunity for senior officials and security representatives to hold a virtual conference and discuss the parameters of such cooperation through appropriate diplomatic channels.
Kind Regards,
Naftali Bennett
Prime Minister of Israel
