Turkey warns of possible military action against Israel as tensions surge
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that Turkey could take military action against Israel, accusing Tel Aviv of atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon and likening any intervention to Turkey’s past moves in Karabakh and Libya. He said Israel must be stopped and urged strength to prevent further harm to Palestinians. The rhetoric comes as Turkey has indicted Netanyahu and 35 other Israeli officials over the 2025 Gaza flotilla, prompting Israeli condemnations and discussions of severing diplomatic ties with Turkey.
