NewzTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated on Monday that Turkey will not abandon its regional allies in Syria, following Israeli military strikes on a Syrian base last week. Erdogan explicitly rejected the notion that any external power, specifically Israel, has the authority to establish red lines or boundaries regarding Turkey's regional interests.
In his remarks, the Turkish president characterized the Israeli actions as an attempt to influence regional dynamics. He further alleged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is escalating tensions with Turkey as a political strategy to bolster his domestic standing amidst internal challenges.
