MADRID 18 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Foreign Minister of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, stated this Thursday that there is a “high possibility” that a war will break out between Israel and Iran, since the situation in the Middle East has escalated for a year to the point of setting off alarm bells. a large-scale regional war.
When asked in an interview with the Turkish television network Haber Global about whether a war between Israel and Iran will take place, he maintained that the states of the region should “evaluate” this option as a “high possibility” event because “they need “be prepared for such a possibility.
“We need to be prepared for this as a country and as a region. The extension of the war is not something we want. We are significantly focused on ending the war in the Middle East, which has been subject to occupation and destruction for the last 20 years. There should be no war for the stability and security of the people, but if Iran acts in self-defense, it has its right,” he said.
Fidan made these statements coinciding with Israel’s announcement of the death of the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Yahya Sinwar, in clashes in the Gaza Strip. However, he did not want to comment on the matter, alleging that confirmation from the Palestinian group is missing.
On the other hand, he referred to the situation in Gaza, where Israeli bombings have killed more than 42,400 people, and lamented that “the international system has become completely blind, silent and deaf.” “Unfortunately, Gaza has become an open-air cemetery where tens of thousands of people are suffering a genocide,” he said.
“It has become uninhabitable for people, since two million people are squeezed into a narrow place, fighting against hunger and thirst, and all this is happening before the eyes of all humanity,” he said, before pointing out that “the genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Lebanon and a possible war with Iran are events that” are intertwined.
