Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a strong warning that Israel’s actions are pushing the Middle East toward severe instability and potential genocide. Speaking at a press conference in Ankara on Saturday, Fidan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of using operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon as a pretext for a new massacre. He cautioned that the ongoing conflict could escalate into a regional war and urged the United States and Iran to return to dialogue immediately.

Fidan confirmed that Turkey had intercepted a missile targeting its airspace and said Ankara is closely monitoring the situation while maintaining regular contact with Iran. He sharply criticized Israel for restricting worshippers’ access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, calling it a dangerous move that could inflame tensions across the Muslim world.

The minister emphasized that as long as the attacks continue, the region will remain trapped in a cycle of destruction, and Turkey will build strong resistance against any provocation.
