Turkia(The COW News Digital)Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated that Israel is attempting to drag Muslim countries into a prolonged regional conflict, emphasizing the need for stronger diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.
Fidan confirmed that he will visit Pakistan over the weekend to attend an important diplomatic meeting involving senior officials from multiple countries. During the visit, he is expected to hold discussions with his counterparts from Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to address rising tensions in the region.
The Turkish foreign minister said the talks will focus on ongoing conflicts involving Iran, as well as the broader confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran. He stressed that the current geopolitical environment requires coordinated diplomatic efforts to avoid a wider and potentially long-lasting war.
According to Fidan, Israel is pursuing policies that risk entangling Muslim-majority countries in extended military conflicts. He warned that such developments could destabilize the region further and called for immediate steps to strengthen diplomatic channels among affected nations.
He added that Turkey is actively engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomatic communication, including telephone diplomacy, aimed at reducing mistrust between Iran and neighboring states. He said Ankara is working to prevent the escalation of tensions that could lead to broader regional instability.
The planned diplomatic meeting in Pakistan is expected to serve as a platform for dialogue on security concerns, regional cooperation, and conflict de-escalation strategies. Officials involved are reportedly seeking ways to reduce tensions and promote stability through multilateral engagement.
Fidan’s remarks come amid heightened international concern over escalating hostilities in the Middle East, where ongoing disputes have raised fears of a wider conflict involving multiple regional and global powers.
Turkish authorities have consistently advocated for diplomatic solutions and have positioned themselves as mediators in regional disputes. The upcoming discussions are seen as part of broader efforts to prevent the situation from spiraling into a long-term military confrontation.
Further details of the meeting agenda are expected to emerge as delegations arrive in Pakistan later this week.
