00:00Get back, get back, get back, get back!
00:20Turkey just raised the temperature in a way that no one in Brussels, Washington, or Tel Aviv can afford to
00:28ignore tonight.
00:28President Recep Erdogan stood before his ruling party in Parliament and said something that shifts the entire geometry of this
00:38conflict.
00:39He said Israel's attacks on Syria and Lebanon have now reached a point where they directly threaten Turkey.
00:47Not a neighboring country, not a regional partner.
00:51Turkey, a NATO member, a country with the second largest army in the entire alliance.
00:57And Erdogan did not stop at a warning.
01:01He named Netanyahu personally, calling him and his circle a network of murder.
01:07And he said that Ankara's security is now directly tied to the security of Lebanon and Syria.
01:13Read that again slowly.
01:16Because what Erdogan just did is draw Turkey's red line inside someone else's borders.
01:23He is saying that what happens in Damascus and Beirut happens to Ankara too.
01:29And if you keep hitting those countries, you are hitting Turkey.
01:33That is not just rhetoric.
01:35That is a doctrine.
01:36But Erdogan went even further.
01:39And this is the part that did not get nearly enough attention.
01:42He accused Israel of running what he called a sneaky effort to destabilize African nations and the Mediterranean.
01:50And specifically, he pointed to Cyprus, the ethnically divided island that sits at the crossroads of European and Middle Eastern
01:58influence.
01:59He said small entities whose ambitions far exceed their size have boarded Israel's boat of mischief and taken on the
02:07role of Zionist subcontractors in the Eastern Mediterranean.
02:11Those are extraordinarily sharp words from a sitting head of state.
02:16And then came the warning that everyone in the region needs to hear.
02:20Erdogan said clearly, if the rights of Turkey and Turkish Cypriots are violated in the Eastern Mediterranean, our response will
02:29be very clear and very strong.
02:31Turkey and Cyprus have one of the most combustible territorial disputes in the region.
02:36Energy exploration rights, maritime boundaries, decades of unresolved division.
02:42And now Erdogan is linking that dispute directly to Israel's expanding military footprint.
02:49That is a new and very dangerous connection.
02:52Erdogan also laid blame for how this entire war started.
02:57Turkey has blamed Israel's provocations for triggering the U.S.-Iran war.
03:01And he said Israel continues to be emboldened by one thing above all else, the silence of the international community.
03:10So his ask to the world was direct.
03:13He said pulling Israel back within the bounds of the rule of law has become a shared duty,
03:19not just for certain countries, but for all of humanity.
03:23So let's take stock of what just happened.
03:25A NATO member has publicly said it feels militarily threatened by Israel, has accused Israel of destabilization plots across two
03:34continents,
03:35has warned of a strong response in the Mediterranean, and has called on the entire world to act as a
03:42collective obligation.
03:43Turkey is not a small voice, it cannot be dismissed, and Erdogan just made sure that whatever happens next in
03:52this war,
03:52Turkey is no longer watching from the sidelines.
