Parliament to convene in closed session on Israeli attacks
ANKARA

The parliament will hold a closed session on Oct. 8 to discuss Israel’s ongoing military actions in the Middle East and Türkiye’s response to the escalating conflict.
During the session, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Defense Minister Yaşar Güler are scheduled to brief lawmakers on Israel’s attacks in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, the growing regional tensions and Türkiye’s security measures amid the potential for broader conflict.
No journalists or outside observers will be permitted to attend the session, and details will be withheld from the public for 10 years, according to parliamentary protocol.
The briefing comes in response to requests from opposition party chairs.
«We want information about Türkiye’s security issue. We want to know if there is a threat in the Israeli issue,» main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Özgür Özel told reporters on Oct. 3.
His call came after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned on Oct. 1 that the «next place Israel will set its eyes on will be Türkiye.»
«After Lebanon, the next place Israel will set its eyes on, I tell you clearly, will be our homeland… [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s dreams include Anatolia,» Erdoğan said.
