Turkish Defence Ministry (MSB) and the Defence Industry Agency (SSB) denied allegations of cooperation with Israel. Both institutions announced that there is no activity within the scope of defence cooperation with Israel.
MSB and SSB shared a post regarding the issue on the X account. The following statements were included in the post:
"Israel's acts of violence continue in Gaza, indiscriminately targeting hospitals, schools, places of worship, refugee camps and civilians. It is not possible for the Republic of Turkiye, which has always supported Palestine, to carry out or engage in any activity that would harm the Palestinians."
SSB’s statement continued, "In this context, the Defence Industry Agency does not have any activities within the scope of cooperation with Israel in the field of defence industry". The Defence Ministry said, "The Ministry of National Defence does not have any activities with Israel, including military training, exercises and defence industry cooperation."
