Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said Israel’s expansionist policies represent both a regional risk and a threat to the international community, Al Jazeera reports.

“[This] issue is not Turkiye’s problem alone,” Fidan said at a news conference yesterday.

“We will face and overcome global and regional challenges posed by Israel, together with our regional allies, global actors and partners,” he said.

The minister also said that talks on a ceasefire agreement in Gaza have been hamstrung by international actors more interested in buying time for Israel than finding a resolution to the conflict that has resulted in more than 46,000 people killed in the Palestinian enclave.
