The travel warnings that Israel officially issued about the danger of traveling to Turkey reached the ears of all citizens of the country, in Israel and around the world.
The media deals with them extensively, and they have put sleep out of the eyes of many.
It is doubtful, however, whether these warnings reached the relevant authorities unequivocally and in the relevant language.
The case of Elhanan Tennenbaum, who traveled to a country in Europe for a business opportunity and eventually arrived in Lebanon and got involved with Hezbollah, could be repeated in Turkey as well.
The brutal ayatollahs' regime could bring down Israeli citizens who have contact with a foreign agent.
These may eventually find themselves outside the borders of Turkey, and perhaps even Iran.
The pattern of action successfully tried in 2000 may happen again.
Right now, when Israel has embarrassed the Iranians and informed Turkey of the intention of the Revolutionary Guards or anyone on their behalf to carry out hostilities within its borders - Israel can seize the opportunity, and the fact that it and Turkey are in a kind of renewal or warming of relations, to keep the Iranians away , And expose the true face of the Iranian regime to the world.
And this, apparently, is a job that needs to be done mostly below the surface.
Not diplomacy - intelligence.
Turkey is considered the number one destination for Arab Israeli citizens - both because of the cultural closeness, customs and culinary experience, and also because of the all-inclusive vacation costs: a family can vacation in Turkey for $ 2,000, and an Arab will not feel like a foreigner.
In addition, Arab-Israeli businessmen have in recent years developed an extensive network of connections and connections with their Turkish counterparts, importing almost everything from Turkey - from cars to plastic cups.
The trade reaches about eight billion dollars a year.
Another phenomenon that has developed in recent years is the purchase of apartments and houses in Turkey by Arab citizens, which can be a temptation for Iranian activity in Turkey.
Turkish companies are building buildings, and Israeli Arabs are buying.
A four-room apartment, which costs at least a million and a half here, will cost 100,000 euros.
The Iranians may mark these targets.
The State of Israel speaks in all languages about the danger, except for the Arabic language - which is the most relevant.
It is true that Arabs consume the media, but if you want the relevant citizens to understand, the exact same words must be transmitted - but in Arabic.
Leaders of the Arab public, from members of the Knesset to the heads of local authorities, are also required to receive the relevant information in order for them to act by virtue of their positions.
Anyone planning a vacation in this country should recalculate a route and explore additional options, and there are quite a few.
