President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that the cycle of violence sparked by Israel’s attacks on Iran threatens regional stability, urging Syria to avoid involvement during a phone call with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday held a phone conversation with his Syrian counterpart Ahmad al-Sharaa to discuss the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, according to Türkiye’s Communications Directorate.

During the call, Erdogan said the cycle of violence instigated by Israel’s military operations posed a grave threat to the entire region. He emphasized the importance of Syria maintaining neutrality and refraining from entering the conflict.

Erdogan also stressed the need for vigilance against terrorist groups and radical elements that may exploit the heightened tensions in the region.

The discussion came amid a rapidly intensifying crisis in the Middle East, following Israel’s large-scale attacks on Iran, which killed more than 100 people, including top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran has since retaliated with missile strikes on Israeli targets.
