Gulf accounts circulated a video of a Turkish man wielding a knife and threatening Gulf tourists with death, sparking significant controversy on social media. In the video, the Turk is seen insulting men who appear to be from Saudi Arabia, referring to them as "sons of whores." The video gained wide traction with comments asserting that "Turkey is no longer safe."
This video comes on the heels of violence that erupted following the accusation of a Syrian man harassing a girl, targeting businesses and properties owned by Syrians in the Turkish city of Kayseri, leading to the Turkish police arresting 67 individuals in connection with the incidents.
