President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the cabinet in Ankara, emphasizing Turkey’s cautious and wise strategy during the Middle East conflict. He maintained that Turkey is successfully managing fraternal and neighboring relations while avoiding various traps set by external forces.

The President expressed firm determination to stay away from the “circle of fire” currently engulfing the region. He noted that the last 25 days have proven this war belongs to Israel, yet the entire global population is suffering.

Erdogan described the conflict as a battle for Prime Minister Netanyahu’s personal survival, placing an immense burden on humanity. He called for an immediate end to the systematic killings under Netanyahu’s leadership to protect the interests of all mankind.

The Turkish leader urged every nation to adopt a courageous and proactive stance against the ongoing violence. He warned that Israel’s inflexible and excessive demands must not be allowed to damage the efforts for a sustainable diplomatic solution.

Furthermore, Erdogan confirmed that Turkey will utilize all its capabilities to promote peace within Iran and the broader region. He highlighted how the US-Israel tensions with Iran have created a volatile environment affecting energy markets and global stability.

Rising energy prices and economic damages to Turkey’s economy are being addressed through specific government measures. The President vowed to continue working toward regional stability while protecting the national interests and economic well-being of the Turkish people.
