                  “Israel respects the democratic process in Turkey and looks forward to the continuation of the reconciliation process between Turkey and Israel,” said Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon in a reaction to the deadly foiled military coup attempt in Turkey by a faction of the army against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s rule.

                  Israel last month restored normal diplomatic ties with Ankara after several years of strained relations following after an IDF raid on a Turkish ship tryin to break the naval blockade of Gaza in 2010.

                  NATO's chief says all alliance personnel and military units in Turkey are "safe and secure" following the attempted coup.’’

                  NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg tweeted that he welcomed "the strong support shown by the people and all political parties to democracy and to the democratically elected gov of Turkey." Turkey is a member of the Atlantic Alliance.

                  In a joint statement, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk, the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini declared: ‘’Turkey is a key partner for the European Union. The EU fully supports the democratically elected government, the institutions of the country and the rule of law. We call for a swift return to Turkey's constitutional order. We continue to follow closely the developments and to coordinate with the 28 EU Member States.’’
