Ankara will intensify diplomatic efforts
The Turkish leader said Ankara would intensify diplomatic efforts, first to secure a ceasefire and then to revive negotiations, stressing that all regional actors — particularly in the Islamic world — must act quickly to halt the violence.
“If common sense does not prevail and diplomacy is not given a chance, our region faces the risk of being dragged into a ring of fire,” Erdogan warned, adding that Turkish authorities were taking precautions against potential spillover effects.
Türkiye has positioned itself as a potential mediator in the crisis, seeking to prevent further bloodshed while maintaining ties with multiple parties across the region.
