Turkey Holds Closed-Door Session on Middle East Tensions Amid Erdogan's Israel Accusations

Turkish President Erdogan's claims about Israel's territorial ambitions spark parliamentary debate, despite skepticism from critics.

President Erdogan has made an unsubstantiated claim that Israel aims to encroach on Turkish territory, which has not been publicly addressed by Israel.
The closed-door parliamentary session was requested by the opposition to discuss the potential spread of conflict from Gaza and Lebanon.
Turkey has criticized Israel's actions in the region, halting trade and joining a genocide case against Israel at the World Court.
Opposition leaders and analysts dismiss Erdogan's claims as a distraction from Turkey's economic issues.
Despite a trade ban, there are reports of increased exports to Palestinian territories, raising questions about Turkey's trade practices with Israel.
