Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that Israel’s expansionist policies in the region have become an issue not only for regional countries but also for the international community and global justice, Anadolu reports.

Fidan made the remarks in a meeting in Istanbul with representatives from national and international media organisations based in Turkiye, where he addressed the current political landscape.

In response to a question about the potential for direct conflict between Turkiye and Israel due to the country’s policies in southern Syria, Fidan said the “issue is not Turkiye’s problem alone. We will face and overcome global and regional challenges posed by Israel, together with our regional allies, global actors and partners.”
