Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Türkei: Justizputsch in Ankara

Der 38. Parteitag der noch auf Staatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk zurückgehenden Republikanischen Volkspartei (CHP), auf dem 2023 der jetzige Parteichef Özgür Özel den langjährigen Vorsitzenden Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu abgelöst hatte, wurde wegen angeblicher Delegiertenbeeinflussung für »vollständig nichtig« erklärt.

Das Gericht beschloss, dass Kılıçdaroğlu vorerst die Parteigeschäfte führen soll. Er hatte seine Bereitschaft dazu bereits am Tag vor dem Urteil signalisiert.

Turkish Parliament Speaker Calls for Suspension of Israel‘s UN Membership

(April 18, 2026)

The Turkish official drew a direct historical parallel to the global response against Apartheid South Africa, which saw its credentials suspended by the UN General Assembly in 1974. „Just as the world united to suspend South Africa‘s membership over its racist, criminal policies, we must now act with the same resolve against the Israeli regime for its identical treatment of the Palestinian people,“ he argued. „This is not merely a regional dispute; it is a litmus test for the credibility of the international legal order.“

Turkey says Israel should be suspended from UN General Assembly

(August 25, 2025)

On 27 September 1974, the UN Credentials Committee rejected South Africa’s credentials, a routine procedure before General Assembly meetings.

Three days later, the General Assembly passed Resolution 3207, urging the Security Council to review South Africa’s membership in light of its constant violations of the Charter.

Although the Security Council vetoed the resolution, in November of that year the president of the General Assembly, Algeria’s Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ruled that, given the Credentials Committee’s decision and the adoption of Resolution 3207, the General Assembly would refuse to allow South Africa’s delegation to participate in its work.

South Africa remained suspended from the General Assembly until June 1994, following the end of apartheid.

Activists argue that the UN General Assembly could apply the same process to Israel. They note that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in July 2024 issued an advisory opinion declaring Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian territories “unlawful” and its near-complete segregation of populations in the West Bank a breach of international law on “racial segregation” and “apartheid”.

It also condemned Israel’s intensifying attacks in Lebanon, which “are further exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the country”.

Here Are The Countries’ Ships Allowed Through Iran’s Strait Of Hormuz

A U.S. Ground Invasion of Iran Would Face 1 Million Troops, 4,000 Tanks, and Mountains That Favor the Defenders

As is often the case in large-scale military operations, logistics are crucial to success. Preparing, staging, and deploying a large, mechanized ground force is a massive and difficult undertaking, and in this case, the favorable points of entry are most likely Turkish territory or the ocean. It seems unlikely the United States could stage an invasion force in Iraq.

To say the prospective operation is “high-risk” might be an understatement. Any concentration of U.S. forces would immediately offer a target for Iran’s remaining precision-guided ballistic missiles.

Iran will not target any country not used for aggression: Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated that the country will refrain from any action against neighboring countries provided their airspace, territory, or waters are not used as platforms for attacks on Iranian soil and people.

He made the remarks in a telephone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss regional developments following the recent US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.

He categorically rejected media claims propagated by outlets aligned with Israel and the United States that Iran had launched missile strikes against Turkey.

Turkish President Erdogan tells Iran that the violation of Türkiye‘s airspace ‘cannot be excused for any reason’

Last Wednesday, the ministry said a ballistic munition fired from Iran toward Turkish airspace after crossing Syria and Iraq was intercepted and neutralized by NATO air and missile defense units in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Türkiye is „negatively affected“ by conflicts in which it is not a party, Erdogan also told his Iranian counterpart.

Ankara does not approve of the „unlawful interventions“ against Iran and Iran‘s targeting of countries in the region, Erdogan stressed, adding that targeting brotherly countries „is not in anyone‘s interest” and “these actions must end.“

Will Turkey Invade Iran?

(March 3, 2026)

Independent Turkish press described two possible scenarios for Turkish military action: an early-stage push to establish border shelters for a refugee crisis, and later incursions into Iran to secure a buffer zone if the Iranian state fails. Turkey’s intervention in northern Iraq—combining extensive airstrikes with a network of ground outposts in a mountainous, insurgent-sheltering hinterland—holds clues as to what such a buffer zone might look like in Iran. Nevertheless, the magnitude of PJAK or Kurdish coalition activity in a collapsing Iran would be the final determinant.

Iran‘s military claims it did not launch missile toward Turkey, state media reports

Turkish officials on Wednesday had said the missile traveled from Iran through the airspace of Iraq and Syria, heading toward Turkish airspace, before it was destroyed.

Why Indian PM Modi’s Israel visit matters for Pakistan’s security

(February 25, 2026)

A new classified framework is expected to open exports from Israel of previously restricted military hardware to India. Among the systems reportedly under discussion is Israel’s Iron Beam, a 100kW-class high-energy laser weapon inducted into the Israeli army in December 2025. Cooperation on Iron Dome missile defence technology transfer for local manufacturing is also under consideration.

For Masood Khan, Pakistan’s former ambassador to both the United States and the United Nations, the visit marks a decisive moment.

“News coming out suggests they are going to sign a special strategic agreement, one that could be seen as a counterpart to the agreement signed by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia last year,” he said. “Israel already has such special agreements with countries like the US and Germany.”

Syria‘s Sharaa turns to Russia amid SDF clashes, Israeli incursions

(January 29, 2026)

Sharaa told Putin that Russia „plays an important role in stabilising“ both Syria and the region as a whole.

Earlier this week, the Reuters news agency reported that Russia was withdrawing forces from Qamishli airport in northeast Syria, although it was expected to maintain its larger Hmeimim air base and Tartous naval facility on Syria‘s Mediterranean coast.

An unnamed Syrian source told Reuters that the withdrawal is likely a gesture of goodwill, and a way of signalling that Moscow does not wish to be dragged into the fighting between Syrian forces and the SDF.

However, it‘s no secret that Putin wishes to preserve Russian influence over Syria and its neighbours.
