Netanyahu and his government are solely responsible for the recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
“Israel is trying to provoke a regional conflict, and its attack on Iran’s embassy in Damascus was the last drop,” he said at a news conference in Ankara after a cabinet meeting.
Erdogan added that new regional conflicts are possible as long as the “cruelty and genocide” in Gaza continues, and he called on all parties to act with common sense. He also slammed the West for condemning Iran’s attack but not Israel’s strike on Iran’s embassy.
Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles launched on Saturday night, and Israeli officials have promised to respond.
Iran called the barrage retaliation for an Israeli strike on April 1 that flattened the consulate building in its embassy compound in Damascus and killed two of its generals and several other officers.
