Israeli Turkmen
Turkish minority
The Israeli Turkmen,[2] neutrally referred to as the Turks in Israel are the descendants of ethnic Turkish and other Oghuz Turkic peoples who have had a long-established presence in the region.
Migration of Turkish settlers to the Levant began in the 12th century, and continued throughout the Mamluk and Ottoman rule.[2]
In the early 2000s, Turkish workers from the Republic of Turkey settled in Israel, working predominantly on construction projects.[3]
