Erdoğan says Türkiye will stand by Lebanon amid Israeli incursion

President Tayyip Erdoğan said on Tuesday Türkiye would stand by Lebanon and support it with all its means after Israel launched raids into Lebanon as part of a "limited" ground incursion.

"We will never leave our Lebanese brothers on their own in these difficult days and will support them with all our means," Erdoğan said in a speech at the reopening of the Turkish parliament following its summer recess.
