An Israeli woman was arrested in Istanbul, Turkey, on accusations of engaging in anti-Palestinian rhetoric, denouncing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and cursing the Turkish flag, according to Sunday reports from Israeli media.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed that day that it was aware of an Israeli citizen who was detained in Istanbul.
According to Israeli media, the woman was detained in Taksim Square, a central, heavily trafficked area of the Turkish metropolis.
She has been detained for at least 10 days, N12 News reported.
Photographs shared on social media appear to show police officers handcuffing the woman. However, The Jerusalem Post has not been able to independently verify the images.
