Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, declared in decisive remarks that the designs intended to create strife and conflict among brotherly nations in the region have reached a dead end, and Israel's efforts to divide the Islamic world have met with failure.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, in his latest statements which received widespread coverage in regional media, analyzed the security situation in the Middle East and the destructive role of Israel. Referring to recent diplomatic developments, particularly the agreement between Iran and the United States, he emphasized that the "plan to pit brothers against each other," designed by Zionist think tanks, has not achieved its goals [1].
Welcoming the De-escalation Between Iran and the US In his speech following a cabinet meeting, Erdogan expressed satisfaction with the understanding reached between Tehran and Washington. He described this agreement as a vital step for regional stability and noted that Turkey has always supported diplomacy to resolve crises. He stated that this rapprochement has thwarted the plans of those seeking to ignite proxy wars between regional powers [2]. The Turkish President expressed gratitude to countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia that mediated this path.
Failure of Israel's Strategy of Division A major part of Erdogan's speech was dedicated to criticizing Israeli policies. Using the phrase "pitting brother against brother," he claimed that Israel acts as a "discord factory" whose sole purpose is to create instability in the Islamic geography [3]. He emphasized that the political awareness of regional nations has increased and they will no longer allow old scenarios for dividing the Middle East to be repeated. Erdogan warned that the Zionist regime has now become a threat not only to its neighbors but to global peace as a whole.
Turkey's Security; Beyond National Borders The Turkish President once again emphasized his new security doctrine, saying: "Turkey's security does not only start from our borders in Hatay, but is rooted in the stability of Aleppo, Damascus, and Beirut" [1]. These words indicate Ankara's determination to intervene actively in regional files and prevent Israeli influence in northern Syria and Lebanon. He stated that any threat against brotherly countries will be considered a direct threat to Turkey's national security.
Warning Against Provocative Movements In conclusion, Erdogan warned all regional actors to be vigilant against Israeli provocations following the recent agreements. He believes that the failure of divisive plans may lead to more aggressive and unpredictable behavior from the Netanyahu government [2]. He called on the international community to prevent the spread of the fire of war by those who see their survival in chaos and bloodshed.
Erdogan: Turkey's security begins in Aleppo, Damascus, and Beirut.
