Tunay, who was a guest on HABER GLOBAL's live broadcast on August 19, 2025, said that anti-Israel and anti-Semitism should not be confused.
Our great-great-grandfather, Bayezid II, welcomed Jews fleeing persecution in 1492 and 1497, and later, during the Republican era, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk welcomed Jewish scientists fleeing Nazi persecution into our country, and they accomplished significant work. These lands are everyone's home.
There are, and will continue to be, radical, inhumane politicians like Smotrich in Israel. Condemning them is one thing, fighting them is another, and anti-Semitism is another. We must be very careful about this, he said. The Finance Minister also shared a little-known detail about Smotrich in Turkey.
