  • Turkey and Israel have intensified their long-running exchange of hostile rhetoric.
  • The dispute has prompted growing warnings about a possible conflict as an election approaches.

The long war of words between Turkey and Israel has turned into what the article calls a dangerous game. As an election approaches, questions are being raised over whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might start a new war to improve his chances of winning.

Politicians on both sides have traded fierce accusations. Turkish politicians have previously called Israel a burden humanity cannot bear, while Israeli politicians have described Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoฤŸan as an antisemitic dictator and his government as a dark dictatorship.

The verbal conflict has existed for a long time, but warnings of a possible armed confrontation have increased recently.
