Israel has rebuffed Turkish accusations following Ankara's condemnation of Israeli military actions in Syria, as Turkey intensifies its own operations in the war-torn country. The escalating tensions between the two nations have raised concerns about regional stability and the future of U.S.-backed Kurdish forces battling ISIS.
On Monday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry criticized Israel for expanding settlements in the Golan Heights, labeling it as part of Israel's 'expansion of borders through occupation.' Turkey called on Israel to adhere to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, which established a cease-fire between Israel and Syria.
