Erdoğan SHOVES Macron Aside From Turkish Flag | French President Appears Startled On Camera

During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity. #Erdogan #Macron #NATOSummit #ViralMoment #PoliticalTension #France #Turkey #FlagIncident #GlobalDiplomacy #PowerPlay #MacronAwkward #ErdoganMacron #ViralVideo #InternationalPolitics #Geopolitics #MacronInLimbo #ErdoğanVsMacron #TurkishPolitics #FrenchPolitics #SummitDrama #EuropeNews #TiranaSummit #PresidentialProtocol #AwkwardEncounter #MacronMeme #WorldLeaders #DiplomaticNews #NATO2025 #BodyLanguagePolitics #PoliticalViral Also Read PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc French President Macron Whispers Something In Italian PM Meloni's Ear, Her Eye Rolling Reaction Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/french-president-macron-whispers-something-in-italian-pm-meloni-ear-her-eye-rolling-reaction-goes-4184371.html?ref=DMDesc Shangri-La Dialogue: Macron Seeks New EU-Asia Alliance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shangri-la-dialogue-macron-seeks-new-eu-asia-alliance-4168599.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Turkey SLAMS Israel’s ‘Terrorism’, Backs Iran’s Retaliation | Turkey Compares Netanyahu To Hitler

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has openly backed Iran’s military response to Israeli airstrikes, calling Tehran's actions "legitimate and lawful." In an explosive speech, Erdogan accused Israel of "banditry and state terrorism," and likened Prime Minister Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. He also condemned global silence over Israeli aggression, particularly in Gaza. Erdogan warned of further instability if Israel’s “inhuman attacks” continue and pledged to protect Türkiye’s interests. Meanwhile, Russia also denounced Israel’s campaign, while the U.S. maintained its full support for West Jerusalem and demanded Iran's “unconditional surrender.” #Erdogan #IranIsraelConflict #TurkeyIran #Netanyahu #IranRetaliates #IsraelStrikes #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaUnderAttack #TrumpIran #Khamenei #RecepTayyipErdogan #IsraelUnderFire #AyatollahKhamenei #NuclearTensions #RussiaCondemnsIsrael #TürkiyeStance #USIsraelAlliance #WorldWar3Fears #HitlerComparison #GlobalCrisis Also Read 'Operation Sindhu': India Starts Evacuating Its Nationals Stranded In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindhu-india-starts-evacuating-its-nationals-stranded-in-iran-4185423.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Won’t Surrender, Khamenei Tells Trump — Says Tehran Doesn’t Respond To 'Language of Threat' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-won-t-surrender-khamenei-tells-trump-says-tehran-doesn-t-respond-to-language-of-threat-4185093.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Air Defence 'Overwhelmed' As Interceptor Stockpile Dwindles Amid Ongoing Iran Barrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-air-defence-overwhelmed-as-interceptor-stockpile-dwindles-amid-ongoing-iran-barrage-4184991.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Putin, Trump, Zelensky, Erdogan to discuss peace in Ukraine? Turkey pitches summit, Kremlin rejects

Turkey is pushing for a high-level Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy summit to cap the ongoing Istanbul peace talks on Ukraine. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, claims the war could end in 2025 if all sides commit to talks and a lasting cease-fire. While Ukraine demands advance proposals and a full cease-fire, Russia insists on presenting terms in person. The U.S. threatens to disengage if Moscow resists progress, and Trump’s 30-day truce initiative remains stalled amid territorial disputes. #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #TurkeyDiplomacy #Zelenskyy #Putin #Trump #CeasefireNow #RussiaUkraineConflict #HakanFidan #UkrainePeaceDeal #GlobalDiplomacy #Geopolitics #IstanbulTalks #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #TerritorialDispute #Peace2025 #TrumpPeacePlan #UkraineNews #PutinZelenskyy #TurkeyMediation #Kremlin #USWarning #CeasefireTalks #UkraineRussiaSummit #UkraineUpdate #PutinProposal #TrumpInitiative #WarResolution #PeaceEffort Also Read Erdogan Reaffirms Support For Islamabad Amid India Tensions: 'Long live Pakistan-Turkiye Friendship' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/erdogan-reaffirms-support-for-islamabad-amid-india-tensions-long-live-pakistan-turkiye-friendship-4163705.html?ref=DMDesc India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation. #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #RussiaUltimatum #UkraineTerritories #Ceasefire #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kyiv #IstanbulTalks #RussianAggression #UkrainianSovereignty #EU #NATO #PrisonerSwap #Trump Also Read Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~
