Erdogan Accuses Israel of Undermining Iran Nuclear Negotiations


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sharply criticized Israel for its recent military actions against Iran, claiming they were deliberately timed to derail upcoming nuclear negotiations between Tehran and the United States. Speaking at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, Erdogan argued that the strikes demonstrated Israel’s unwillingness to resolve regional tensions through diplomacy.

He urged nations with influence over Israel to resist what he described as its “poison” and instead support dialogue to prevent further escalation. Erdogan also called on Muslim-majority countries to intensify efforts to hold Israel accountable under international law and United Nations resolutions.

The comments come amid a backdrop of heightened conflict between Israel and Iran, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and diplomatic efforts in Geneva showing little progress. Erdogan’s remarks underscore Turkey’s positioning as a vocal advocate for diplomatic solutions in the Middle East.
