Erdogan says Netanyahu’s plans to spread war to Lebanon will ‘lead to a great disaster’

"Netanyahu's plans to spread the war to the region with the consent of the West will lead to a great disaster.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that his country stands in solidarity with Lebanon in light of growing tensions between Hezbollah and Israel.

"Israel is now setting its sights on Lebanon and we see that Western powers behind the scenes are patting Israel on the back and even supporting them," he told lawmakers of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Erdogan said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war plans would "lead to a great disaster" and called on regional countries to support Beirut.
