Turkey Warns Zionist Entity is Using Security as Pretext for Territorial Expansion

Turkey’s foreign minister said on Saturday that “Israel” is using security as a pretext to acquire “more land.”

“Israel is not after its own security. Israel is after more land. Security is being used by the Netanyahu government as an excuse to occupy more land,” Hakan Fidan told the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, adding that the Zionist entity “has created an illusion internationally, claiming that Israel is in favor of its own security but it has become very clear, especially in the recent years … it is more than that.”

He said from the Palestinian lands, Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and now towards Lebanon and Syria, it was “an onward occupation and expansionism in the region.”
