Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting focused on the Middle East, Fidan highlighted the intensity of Israeli aggression. 

«With Israeli aggression unbounded and Lebanon on target, we are now in uncharted waters,” he said. 

«Intense bombing continues unabated, without distinction of civilians and military targets.»

Fidan’s comments followed a devastating Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which the Israeli army claimed targeted the main headquarters of Hezbollah. 

He urged the Security Council to fulfill its critical responsibilities, stating, «I urge all of you to stop this war and Israeli aggression.»

Addressing the broader implications, Fidan warned, «Today, we are confronted with a blade, a sharp turning point… our so-valued rules-based order is in shambles. With each passing day, this erosion becomes irreversible. Wisdom dictates that we must prevail in stopping this barbaric war in Gaza before it spreads to the West Bank, Lebanon, and beyond.

He criticized international actors for their lack of decisive action despite having the means to influence the «horrific cause» and called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
