Israel–Turkey relations

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has urged his U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden, that the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza as a result of indiscriminate Israeli attacks must be stopped and recalled that it was the United States' historic responsibility to achieve a lasting ceasefire in the region.

Turkish Cypriot officials have denied an "unfounded and malicious allegation" by Israel that Iran was using the Turkish-occupied northern part of Cyprus for "terrorism objectives".

Israel helped Cyprus foil an Iranian-ordered attack against Israelis and Jews on the island, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Sunday, saying such plots were on the rise since the Gaza war erupted.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has denounced the U.N. Security Council after the United States vetoed a ceasefire resolution for Gaza, describing the international body as the "Israel protection council."

Erdoğan used a speech on human rights on Dec. 9 to accuse the West of "barbarism" for its stance on the Israel-Hamas war and what he alleged was its toleration of Islamophobia.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has hinted that the Turkish parliament will not proceed to ratify the Swedish accession to NATO unless the United States Congress takes action to approve the sale of 40 F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has declared Türkiye's intention to continuing its collaboration with Qatar in a bid to achieve lasting peace in the turbulent Middle East, particularly amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has met with Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, during his visit to Doha to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict and bilateral relations.

Discussions during the meeting on Dec. 4 revolved around the ongoing war in Gaza, efforts towards a ceasefire and the necessary actions for delivering humanitarian aid to the region.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has vowed staunch support for Palestinians in Gaza, pledging not to relinquish "a single inch of Gaza's land to Israel" amid the ongoing conflict with militant group Hamas.

Ghazal, who is the Executive Director of the organization "In Defense of Christians", recalls that the whole world was appalled by Hamas's attack on Israel, and that only that member of the Alliance condemned Israel. According to him, Erdogan criticized the Jewish state and justified the brutality of the Hamas attackers.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has affirmed Türkiye's commitment to pursuing peace in the wake of the failed extension of the temporary ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
