T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Israel has become a \u201cdirect threat to global security,\u201d urging a collective international response and warning that rising instability can no longer be seen as merely regional.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Oxford University on global reordering on Friday, Fidan said the world is experiencing not merely a geopolitical transition but a deeper transformation.<\/p>\n

“What we are witnessing today is not a transition, but it\u2019s rather a transformation,\u201d he said, arguing states can no longer “outsource their security, their diplomacy or their strategic imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the Iran war, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes, Fidan said the conflict dealt “a heavy blow to global prosperity, security and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Israel\u2019s systemic threat to destabilize the region has exceeded local borders and now constitutes a direct threat to global security,\u201d he said, adding that such actions “demand a collective response from the international community as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fidan also said “the distinction between regional and global crises has truly disappeared,\u201d arguing that conflicts can no longer be treated as isolated.<\/p>\n

He said such uncertainty has increased the relevance of middle powers, describing them as states with “strategic geography,\u201d diplomatic reach and political will to produce outcomes.<\/p>\n

Fidan pointed to T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s geographic position, institutional reach as a NATO member and EU candidate, and mediation efforts – from the Black Sea grain initiative to diplomacy in the Horn of Africa – as examples of Ankara\u2019s role in crisis management.<\/p>\n

He also called for global institutional reform and a regional order in the Middle East based on cooperation rather than “domination or submission,\u201d advocating “regional solutions to regional problems by regional countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
