Turkey refused to grant flight permission to ‘Israel’s’ president Isaac Herzog on his trip to Kazakhstan, Astana, according to Hebrew media.
Footage from Flightradar24 shared on X shows the ‘Israeli’ president taking a lengthy detour to avoid flying over Turkey, with his flight taking over eight hours.
A similar incident occurred in November 2024, where Herzog was also denied flying over Turkey in a trip to Baku for COP29, after which he cancelled the trip citing “security concerns”.
Relations between ‘Israel’ and Turkey have taken a massive turn for the worse, since the start of the ‘Israeli’ aggression on Gaza.
