Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reaffirmed Turkey’s commitment to preserving Syria’s territorial integrity. Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara on Thursday, Erdoğan condemned Israel, calling it a “bloodthirsty terrorist state” that is using the Druze community in Syria as a pretext to carry out cross-border attacks.
He accused Israel of arrogance, lawlessness, and committing atrocities through military aggression. Emphasizing that Syria's stability is crucial for peace in the region, Erdoğan said Turkey is not an enemy to any nation and stands for an honorable and just peace policy.
