- “Gaza Has Turned Into an Open-Air Cemetery”
Minister Fidan described the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as an “open-air cemetery,” stating that tens of thousands of people are facing the threat of genocide. He emphasized that the refusal of the Israeli government to accept a ceasefire has resulted in more casualties. - “Attack on Lebanon Was Not a Surprise”
Fidan said that Israel’s targeting of not only Hamas but also Hezbollah and the Houthis was an expected development. He noted that efforts were being made to prevent the expansion of the war in the region, but Israel’s current strategy could lead to a broader conflict. - Iran-Israel Tensions
Regarding the possibility of a war between Iran and Israel, Fidan assessed the likelihood as high and stressed the need for Turkey to be prepared. He reminded that Turkey has been striving for regional stability for the past 20 years and stated that a wider war is not a desired outcome. - U.S.-China Rivalry
Addressing the global power struggle, Fidan discussed the potential for the rivalry between the U.S. and China to escalate into a conflict. He highlighted that the Taiwan issue would be a test for both countries and that the effects of this rivalry would be felt worldwide. - Turkey-Greece Relations
Fidan mentioned that efforts for normalization with Greece were ongoing, with a focus on resolving issues in the Aegean and Mediterranean. He viewed Greece’s approach to avoiding tension positively. - NATO and Defense Industry
Regarding the Eurofighter jet acquisition process, Fidan noted that progress was being made. He stressed that strengthening NATO cannot be achieved by weakening Turkey and highlighted significant advancements in the defense industry.
Minister Fidan concluded by noting that uncertainty in international relations is increasing and that Turkey continues to take a proactive stance, working towards regional and global stability during this challenging period.
