The Presidency of Türkiye has described Israel as a “disaster” for the Middle East, accusing the government of Benjamin Netanyahu of attacking the country.
Burhanettin Duran, Head of Communications of the Presidency of Türkiye, stated the following on the social network X: "Israel has attacked some seven nations in the Middle East in the last two years. The Netanyahu leadership has been a disaster not only for the region but also for the Israeli people. Now, the same leadership wants to shift the focus away from their crimes by attacking our country."
Duran stated that it is ironic for Israeli leaders to speak about the imperialistic ambitions of others in this region while they have just committed one of the worst genocides in history.
Duran added, "Israel has been a destabilising force, and their long-standing hysteria about Türkiye’s power and influence is simply comical."
