Israel Considers Closing Istanbul Consulate
A deepening diplomatic crisis between Israel and Türkiye has prompted Israeli officials to weigh the permanent closure of their Istanbul consulate. Both the Istanbul consulate and the Ankara embassy have been unmanned by Israeli diplomats since October 7, with operations currently managed by local staff and diplomats stationed in Bulgaria. In separate diplomatic activities in the city, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently hosted a young Palestinian content creator at the Presidential Dolmabahçe Working Office.
