Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud that Israel must be stopped, otherwise the war could provoke waves of illegal migration in the region.
„Our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. The conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as regional and global issues, were discussed.“ Erdogan said that Israel under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu poses the biggest threat to the stability and security of the region, which was demonstrated once again by the attack on Iran, and that Israel must be stopped in order to reduce tensions, a statement from the Turkish leader's office said.
Erdogan also said that “the region cannot afford a new crisis, a devastating war could trigger waves of illegal migration to all countries in the region, and the nuclear dispute can only be resolved through negotiations“.
Furthermore, the Turkish leader noted that the lack of an appropriate response “from the international community to the occupation and genocide in Palestine has brought Israel to its current point of impunity and aggression“. "Israel's attack on Iran, while the US and Iran are still seeking a negotiated solution to the nuclear issue, is aimed at undermining peace efforts. These attacks, which resulted in the leakage of nuclear weapons, have once again demonstrated that Israel irresponsibly threatens regional and global security," Erdogan said.
