Turkey’s main opposition leader, Özgür Özel, strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following an Israeli strike on a Syrian military base. Özel stated that any political disagreements with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would be put aside in the face of attempts to involve Turkey in Israeli domestic affairs. This response came after Netanyahu characterized the Syria strike as a message directed toward Turkey. Özel, leading the New Party, made these remarks during a speech in Trabzon. The strike targeted the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in northwestern Syria. The opposition leader’s statement signals a rare moment of unity against a foreign leader, despite existing tensions within Turkish politics. This event highlights the delicate geopolitical balance in the region and Turkey’s position within it.
