Iran Press/West Asia: "There is a desire within Israel, including [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, to escalate the conflict across the region," Fidan said in an exclusive interview with Türkiye's public broadcaster TRT Haber in New York.
He emphasized that "if Israel is not stopped in Gaza and Palestine, it will spread its war to surrounding regions," noting that after reaching its military targets in Gaza, Israel is now moving to the front in Lebanon.
Fidan characterized the ongoing situation in Gaza, where more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed since the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion, as a "tragedy," but said if there is a greater tragedy than this, it is hypocrisy and inefficiency of the international system.
