President Erdogan Urges Regional Solidarity with Lebanon Against Israel’s Plans

Ankara, The Gulf Observer: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on regional countries to stand in solidarity with Lebanon against what he described as Israel’s invasion plan.

In his address to the parliamentary group of his Justice and Development (AK) Party in Ankara on Wednesday, Erdogan stated, “Israel, which has devastated Gaza, is now setting its sights on Lebanon. We see that Western powers are supporting Israel behind the scenes.”

Erdogan emphasized Türkiye’s support for Lebanon, stating, “Türkiye stands with the brotherly Lebanese people and state, and I invite other countries in the region to stand in solidarity with Lebanon as well.”

He warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to expand the conflict in the region could lead to a major catastrophe, urging the Islamic world and Middle Eastern countries to be the first to react to these “bloody plans.”

“It is extremely dire and pathetic that states, which talk about freedom, human rights, and justice, are held captive by a madman like Netanyahu,” Erdogan added.

Erdogan’s remarks highlight Türkiye’s firm stance on the issue and its call for a unified regional response to Israel’s actions.
