Erdogan says Israel's attacks on Syria, Lebanon threaten Turkey too
Erdogan said Israel’s strikes in Syria and Lebanon threaten Turkey, and he warned that Ankara’s security depends on stability in both countries.
- On Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told parliament that Israeli strikes in Syria and Lebanon threaten Turkey, adding that Israel's "aggression" poses a global threat that must be stopped.
- Addressing government statements about a "Greater Israel," Erdogan said, "God willing, we will never allow that," while accusing Israel of a "sneaky effort" to destabilize the Mediterranean by igniting "the fire of discord" on Cyprus.
- Reports from December suggest Israel, Greece, and Cyprus considered establishing a joint military force in the Eastern Mediterranean, described as providing Israel with "additional strategic depth" against Turkey's regional ambitions.
- Ankara will not tolerate any "fait accompli" in brotherly nations, Erdogan warned, stating that if the rights of Turkey or Turkish Cypriots are violated in the Eastern Mediterranean, the response will be unequivocal and strong.
- Urging world powers to act, Erdogan called pulling Israel "back to within the bounds of the rule of law" a shared duty, invoking divine support while stating Turkey would one day take control of Jerusalem, Damascus, and Aleppo.
