A bill being formulated in Turkey stipulates that Israelis will no longer be able to buy land
in the country, though they will be able to continue renting apartments, the Turkish
Milliyet reported Sunday.
Does Israel think it can enter Lebanon with most modern aircraft and tanks to kill women
and children, use cluster bombs to kill kids in Gaza, and expect us to remain silent?' asks

But if the bill passes, citizens of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Syria will be allowed to continue
to purchase land whenever they so choose.
The report says that the office of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered
his housing and infrastructure ministry to ease conditions on land purchase in order to
make it more accessible to foreigners, thus attracting foreign investments.
But while all of the world's citizens will be able to purchase land by presenting a
passport, only those with an Israeli or Greek passport will be barred from having the
pleasure.
And, in another step towards Iran and its allies, the bill limits the amount of land
available for purchase to all citizens except those with Iranian, Syrian, or Saudi passports,
who will be able to buy as much as they can afford.
The Milliyet report says the bill has been in the works for quite some time, and that it is
expected to pass through parliament in a quickened process.
