Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Israel has become a “direct threat to global security” and urges a “collective” international response, arguing growing instability can no longer be viewed through a purely regional lens, Anadolu reports.

Speaking at Oxford University on global reordering, Fidan says the world is experiencing not merely a geopolitical transition but a deeper transformation.

“What we are witnessing today is not a transition, but it’s rather a transformation,” he explains, arguing states can no longer “outsource their security, their diplomacy or their strategic imagination”.

Referring to the Iran war, which began with US and Israeli strikes, Fidan says the conflict dealt “a heavy blow to global prosperity, security and stability”.
