Following tensions over anti-Islam protests in Stockholm over the weekend, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that Sweden should not expect Turkey’s support for its NATO membership bid.
While addressing a press conference, Erdogan said, that if Sweden does not show respect to Turkey or Muslims, it won’t see any support from Turkey on the NATO issue.
Amid escalating tension in the Middle East, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaged in diplomatic talks with regional leaders after Iran's strikes on Israel. The US reiterated support for Israel's defence and emphasized diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis. The situation remains tense, with Israel assessing its response.
