Erdogan: Israel's attacks are a clear provocation

AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made the first statement regarding Israel’s attacks on Iran. Erdoğan said on his social media account, “the attacks are a clear provocation that disregards international law.”

Erdogan made the following statement in his statement:

“As of this morning, Israel has taken its strategy of drowning our region, especially Gaza, in blood, tears and instability to a very dangerous level.

Israel's attacks on our neighbor Iran are a clear provocation that disregards international law.

These attacks, which come at a time when negotiations on Iran's nuclear program are intensifying and international pressure is increasing against inhumane acts targeting Gaza, demonstrate Israel's rule-breaking mentality.

The Netanyahu administration is trying to drag our region and the entire world into disaster with its reckless, aggressive and lawless actions.

The international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability.

The attacks of Netanyahu and his massacre network, which are setting our entire region on fire, must be prevented.

Today, we express once again that we do not want to see more blood, destruction and conflict in the Middle East.

As Türkiye, we condemn the heinous attacks against our neighbor Iran; we wish God's mercy upon those who lost their lives, a speedy recovery to the injured; and we convey our condolences to the friendly and brotherly people of Iran."

As of this morning, Israel has taken its strategy of drowning our region, especially Gaza, in blood, tears and instability to a very dangerous stage.

Israel's attacks on our neighbor Iran are a clear provocation that disregards international law.
