In a statement released by the Communications Directorate following a meeting chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Oct. 3, the council urged international entities to prevent Israel from expanding its military operations beyond Palestinian territories.

«The actors in positions of responsibility are called upon to take immediate action to prevent Israel’s attacks with the aim of spreading the conflict across the Middle East,» read the statement.

The five-point text urged the United Nations and its Security Council to act decisively.

«In addition to Türkiye’s determined efforts, international efforts should be increased and sustained to stop the genocide that the Palestinian people have been subjected to in front of the eyes of the whole world for a year and to achieve a lasting ceasefire and peace in Palestine without delay,» it said.

«Türkiye will stand by the brotherly Lebanese people and government with its nation and state,» the statement affirmed.

The council condemned Israel’s designation of U.N. chief Antonio Guterres as «persona non grata,» labeling it as “the latest example of its lawlessness.”
