Erdogan Launches New Attack on Netanyahu: Continues to Threaten Global Peace, Situation in Our Region is Increasingly Dangerous

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a strong criticism against Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of threatening global peace and stability in the region. Erdogan stated that Israel's attacks, particularly against Iran, have intensified instability. He also expressed concern about the war in Ukraine, which is in its fifth year and causing tension in the Black Sea region. Additionally, he emphasized the seriousness of the situation in Gaza, condemning Israeli actions that are causing a humanitarian crisis. Erdogan denounced the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel, calling it a provocation to the Muslim world. He considered the situation in the region to be increasingly dangerous due to the war in Gaza, illegal activities in the West Bank, and the escalation of violence from Iran. Erdogan assured that Turkey will continue to work for stability in the region through dialogue and diplomacy, citing as an example the cessation of conflicts between Pakistan and Afghanistan during Ramadan.
