Erdogan emphasizes Israel to not attack Iran to overshadow Gaza


(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticized Israel’s recent attacks on Iran, attributing their boldness to the international silence surrounding the occupation and genocide in Palestine. Speaking with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during a phone call on Saturday, Erdogan expressed deep concern over the situation, as shared by Türkiye’s Communications Directorate on social media.

Describing Israel’s military actions against Iran as "unacceptable," Erdogan warned that these strikes have significantly destabilized regional security.

He further cautioned that Tel Aviv represents a broader threat to global peace and security.

Erdogan also stressed that Israel’s assaults complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

Importantly, he emphasized the need to ensure that Israel does not use its attacks on Iran to divert attention from the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
