Erdoğan: Turkey will not get involved in the war concerning Netanyahu's political survival – “We will not fall into traps”,

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that Turkey will not get involved in the war in the Middle East, characterizing it as a war for the political survival of Benjamin Netanyahu. He emphasized that Ankara is closely monitoring developments and assessing the political and economic consequences of the conflict, while maintaining an attitude of calm and respect for good neighborly relations. Erdoğan warned about the negative impacts of the conflict on the global economy, particularly the rise in energy prices and the risk of disruption to global energy trade in the event of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He reiterated the need to end the conflict through diplomacy and called on the international community to take initiatives to restore peace and stability in the region.
