Israel said it is planning a joint air force exercise with Turkey. The announcement came one day after the two countries said they will hold joint naval exercises and will invite Egypt and Jordan to participate. Turkish premier Mesut Yilmaz, currently visiting Israel, lashed out at Syria, which criticized the planned exercises. Anyone complaining about Israeli-Turkish bilateral ties, he said, “should focus on the policies of the Syrian government.”
