State of Israel
Security Classification: Encrypted
Recipient: Park Hyun Jin, Minister of National Defense, Republic of Korea (Jay)
I would like to call on the Republic of Korea to postpone and/or cancel an order made by the Turkish Government which contains ballistic missiles. This comes at a time when tensions between Turkey and Israel are at an all time high and war between us could be imminent and Turkey acquiring those missiles could spell disaster for the State of Israel, the Middle Eastern region and even has world wide consequences as a whole. I would also like to point out that the Turkish Air Force shot down a civilian airliner last night which is a devastating blow to relations between us and Israel and it will also have consequences when the Swedish Government announce their stance.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope that our countries can work together in peace and harmony to stop a rogue country from getting even more powerful.
Best regards,
Benny Gantz
Minister of Defense
