Turkiye warns against permanent regional conflict

ISTANBUL, April 19 (KUNA) -- Turkiye warned on Friday that escalating tensions between Iran and Israeli occupying forces could turn into a permanent conflict.
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, attributed escalating tensions to a recent Israeli occupation attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, warning of a potential permanent conflict.
According to the statement, Turkiye is closely monitoring the events and is calling on all parties to refrain from steps that could lead to a wider conflict.
Turkiye emphasized that the priority of the international community should be to stop the massacre in Gaza and to achieve lasting peace in the region by establishing a Palestinian state. (end) ta.ahs
