The Turkish media reported Saturday that the Turkish National Security Council recently approved significant changes in a document which contains threats against Turkey, claiming that Israel is now a major threat to the country. Israel was redefined as a "major threat" in the document called "The Red Book." 

At the same time the Council decided to remove Syria, Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia from the list of countries that pose a threat to Turkey. This is the first time that Ankara has defined Israel's actions in the Middle East as a threat against Turkey.
