President Erdoğan, in his speech at his party’s parliamentary group meeting, reacted to Israel’s aggressive actions in the region. Referring to Israel’s statements, which included threats targeting Türkiye, President Erdoğan said, “With God’s permission, we will not allow this.”
Key points from Erdoğan’s statements are as follows:
“Since its establishment, Israel has consistently threatened peace, tranquility, prosperity, and security in our region.
The occupation of Palestine and the genocide against Palestinians continue systematically. Look at Gaza; 73,000 innocent people have been massacred before the eyes of the whole world. This genocide continues, both in terms of massacres and inhumane isolation.”
“TÜRKİYE’S SECURITY BEGINS IN BEIRUT”
“Under the current government, Israel has become increasingly arrogant, becoming a source of threat not only for the region but also for humanity.” Netanyahu and his criminal network’s attacks on Syria and Lebanon have reached a point where they threaten not only these two brotherly countries but also Türkiye. I want everyone to know this: Syria and Lebanon are two independent states. However, these two states, Syria and Lebanon, are also two states within Türkiye’s geography of love and brotherhood. Damascus and Beirut are two sister cities of Istanbul. Türkiye’s security begins not only in Hatay, but also in Aleppo, in Damascus. Türkiye’s security begins in Beirut.
Now we see that a fire of discord is being ignited in the Mediterranean, especially on the island of Cyprus, and we are following the developments very closely.
“WE WILL NEVER ALLOW IT”
Now these people and their henchmen are coming out and making supposedly threatening statements targeting Türkiye. You don’t need to say that; we already know your intentions, your aims, your goals very well. We see very well what you are pursuing. We are well aware of the ultimate goal of the “Promised Land” delusion. God willing, we will never allow it.
Let no one forget that when the fire grows, it doesn’t just burn the region; sparks spread throughout the world. Just as the whole world is paying the price for the unresolved situation in the Strait of Hormuz today, if the Israeli banditry is not stopped, the consequences will be borne by the entire region and all of humanity.
EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WARNING
We now see that an attempt is being made to ignite a fire of discord in the Mediterranean, especially on the island of Cyprus, and we are following developments very closely. Some small entities whose ambitions far exceed their size have boarded Israel’s boat of discord, undertaking the role of subcontractors for Zionism; supposedly pursuing some pipe dreams in the Eastern Mediterranean. I say very clearly: No one should pursue adventure. No one should follow the tail of the Zionist massacre network. If the rights and laws of Türkiye and the Turkish Cypriots are threatened in the Eastern Mediterranean, I want it to be known that our response will be very clear and very firm.
