In West Jerusalem, Ankara was suspected of using the veto as a political tool.

Earlier in the day, Ankara recalled that Turkey had closed its airspace to Israeli aircraft, which excludes the possibility of Netanyahu's flight over the republic for his visit to Azerbaijan. It is clarified that this decision was made in response to Israel's policy towards the Gaza Strip.
