Israel may commit ‘new genocide’ in Lebanon using Iran war as pretext, Turkey warns
AI Summary
Turkey has expressed serious concerns that Israel's ongoing strikes in Lebanon could lead to a "new genocide" under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urged the international community to intervene, citing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's actions. The conflict escalated after Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during US-Israeli strikes on Iran, drawing Lebanon into the wider conflict.
