Israel’s conflict with Iran, Gaza quickly reaching 'point of no return', says Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that the ongoing Israeli conflict with Iran and the war on Gaza are “quickly reaching the point of no return”.

“This madness must end as soon as possible,” said Erdogan, during a speech to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s Youth Forum.

He warned that the repercussions of both conflicts will leave its traces in the Middle East, Europe and Asia “for many years”.

“Israel complained about damage to its hospitals today, yet it has so far carried out over 700 attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza alone,” he said, reiterating his call for a ceasefire.
