ANKARA, May 7, 2025 (WAFA) – The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that the Israeli government's recent decision to expand its occupation of the Gaza Strip is "a manifestation of the same expansionist and destructive mentality."

In a statement last night, the ministry called on Israel to halt its "irresponsible actions aimed at dragging the entire region into a comprehensive conflict."

It stated that the international community must not remain silent and must take a decisive stance against Israel's reckless aggression, which is essential for regional and international peace.

It concluded: Turkey continues its efforts to ensure peace and stability in the Middle East, in solidarity with the countries of the region and the international community.
