Erdogan Warns Israel’s Actions Risk Regional Catastrophe
“We all know that the attacks targeting Gaza first, then Yemen and Lebanon, and most recently Iran, are not solely motivated by security concerns,” Erdogan stated during an iftar event at the presidential complex in Ankara.
He emphasized that at a moment when the post-World War II global order is experiencing a historic disruption, it is vital to communicate the facts clearly to international audiences.
“Israel has kept our first qibla, Al-Aqsa Mosque, closed to Muslim worshippers for 17 days entirely on arbitrary grounds and without any authority,” Erdogan added, noting that the simultaneous circulation of narratives—from promised land ambitions to apocalyptic scenarios—appears intentional rather than accidental.
"It is essential that we break free from imposed agendas and explain these realities, this barbarity, and this state of madness to the world in a way that leaves an impact," he said.
The US and Israel have continued their joint military operations against Iran since Feb. 28, resulting in over 1,300 deaths, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries, which it says host “US military assets,” causing casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruption to global markets and air travel.
Israeli forces have also expanded operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
