Erdogan

BEHIND THE LINES: With Turkey's backing of Hamas and disputes in Syria, the future of Jerusalem-Ankara ties look dim.

Erdogan accused Israel of fueling divisions in Syria and committing "genocide" in Gaza at the Antalya Forum, which also saw Syria’s first official participation.

Netanyahu missed the historic opportunity to launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and topple the regime during the transition from Biden to Trump.

Israel may have initially underestimated Hamas, but Ankara sees that Israel is not underestimating Turkey.

The forces opposing Erdogan are assembling, but they must act and confront Turkey decisively, with a clear strategy and the will to follow through, before Turkey’s ambitions become irreversible.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's call for Allah to "bring destruction upon Zionist Israel," underscores that a direct military clash is inevitable.

University students with no history of activism are now at the forefront of demonstrations against Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule.

Erdogan spoke at Istanbul's Grand Camlica Mosque where he asked Allah to ensure that Zionism and Israel are destroyed, while wishing "mercy upon the (Hamas) martyrs"

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said this week that nearly 1,900 people had been detained since the protests began, adding that courts had jailed 260 of them pending trial as of Thursday.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan calls protests a “show” as anger over jailing grows.
