Erdogan: Netanyahu is solely responsible for the escalation and tension in the Middle East

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan emphasised new regional conflicts are likely to continue in Gaza and called on all parties to act within reason

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan launched a strong attack against Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of being responsible for recent escalations and tensions in the Middle East.

The Turkish PM expressed that Israel is attempting to provoke a regional conflict, and its attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus was the straw that broke the camel’s back, this was said during the press conference in Ankara and following the meeting held with his cabinet.
