Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan: "As long as Netanyahu is there, Israel will always identify someone as an enemy"

Hakan Fidan, the Turkish Foreign Minister, stated that Israel will continue to identify an enemy in the region to promote its political agenda, as long as Benjamin Netanyahu remains prime minister.

Fidan dismissed speculation that Turkey could be the next target of Israel, emphasizing that the war in Iran provides Turkey with an additional reason to strengthen its arms production and air defense systems. He also criticized Israel's actions in the region, including in Syria, where Turkey supports the government in Damascus.

Fidan warned that Israel seeks more territory than security, which will perpetuate conflicts in the Middle East. These statements come against the backdrop of increased tensions between Turkey and Israel in the context of the regional conflict generated by the attacks on Iran.
