Erdogan

Erdogan and Trump agree on a path to ceasefire and lasting peace in Gaza, with a two-state solution seen as key. Talks also focus on trade and defense cooperation between Turkey and the US.

Trump also said he could lift sanctions against Turkey "very soon," and that "if we have a good meeting, almost immediately."

Turkish President Erdogan says he will address Israel’s actions in Gaza at the UN General Assembly and push for broader recognition of Palestinian statehood.

Israel's Amichai Chikli criticizes Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman ambitions and France's lack of support for Israel, calling for a rise in nationalism and patriotism in Europe.

“Whenever a nation unites and stands together, its strength grows, but when it becomes divided, its power fades," Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa says at the Arab-Islamic summit.

The Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) has around 1,000 mosques in Germany, and is sometimes called the 'long arm of Erdogan.'

Police clashed with CHP supporters in Istanbul as Erdogan’s government banned protests and moved to tighten control over Turkey’s opposition.

Enrico Macias, a French-Algerian Jewish singer who has performed in Turkey for decades, had his concert cancelled after he signalled that he would move to Israel.

Turkey has suspended trade and airspace access to Israel, but past patterns suggest rhetoric may outpace impact as Israel adapts and Ankara weighs its own costs.
