Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for establishing regional solidarity in the face of rising Israeli aggression, as he warned of potential threats.

Speaking to reporters in the capital Ankara following a cabinet meeting, Erdoğan said all countries of the region must establish what he called a “line of solidarity” against Israel.

He warned that if Tel Aviv does not halt its attacks, its occupation would further expand, posing an immediate threat to the countries of the region.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in his speech that it is “unthinkable” for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which he said is obliged to protect Jerusalem, to remain indifferent to Israel’s attacks, which are becoming more reckless day after day.

He called on the OIC to immediately hold a leaders meeting and display the determined stance of the Muslim world against Israeli aggression without delay.

Erdoğan also hailed improved Türkiye-Egypt relations, saying that the two countries are holding consultations about Gaza, issues regarding Eastern Mediterranean and Africa.

“We support Egyptian authorities regarding their mediation work in Gaza,” Erdoğan said, adding that Israel pursues to further expand its occupation and invasion policy to include Masjid al-Aqsa to Jerusalem.

Decrying Israel’s killing of Turkish-American peace activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, Erdoğan said Ankara would take all legal steps to ensure that Tel Aviv is held accountable by submitting an application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

On Sunday, President Erdoğan renewed his call to Muslim countries to unite to stop Israel’s newest violent attacks on Palestinians that have already spanned nearly a year.
