Israel may step up its aggressive actions in the region after the upcoming US presidential election, raising the risk of the conflict expanding to other countries, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned, Report informs via TASS.
“Israel’s main goal is to force the Palestinian people from Gaza into Egypt and from the West bank into Jordan. Such a scenario will plunge the region into more instability. Israel may not limit itself to military responses after the US election. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu may take steps to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity. If this happens, the risk will grow that the conflict will expand to other countries,” the top diplomat said in an interview with the Hurriyet newspaper.
According to Fidan, Israel continues to put forward conditions in talks with the Palestinian movement Hamas. “This makes it clear that it is taking advantage of the negotiations to buy time to achieve its military goals,” the Turkish foreign minister noted.
