A fierce warning from Ankara: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has intensified criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing Israel of escalating what he described as illegal actions across Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem. Standing alongside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Erdogan reaffirmed Turkey’s support for Palestinian statehood and a two-state solution. He condemned occupation, forced displacement and settlement policies, citing UN figures that he said showed nearly 3,800 Palestinians displaced and almost 100 killed in 2026. Erdogan also warned that continued escalation could destabilize the wider region, while stressing that political negotiations, Palestinian self-government and elections remain essential to lasting peace.
