Turkey's foreign ministry has vigorously condemned Israel's recent attacks on United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon. The ministry's statement late Thursday emphasized continued support for peacekeeping initiatives.
Amid escalating tensions resulting from the war in Gaza and Hezbollah clashes, Israeli actions against UNIFIL have raised international concerns. Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon recommended relocating peacekeepers north in Lebanon to mitigate risks.
Turkey criticized Israel's assaults, linking them to wider regional aggression. Ankara has ceased trade with Israel and is pushing for a genocide case at the World Court, underscoring its call for global accountability and legal adherence by Israel.
