By holding his ground, the Turkish leader not only drew attention to the suffering in Gaza but also successfully pressured European and regional leaders to adopt a firmer stance against Israel’s ongoing actions.
Today, as world leaders gather in Egypt — a Muslim-majority nation — to discuss Gaza’s future, Erdoğan’s diplomatic gamble appears to have paid off. He turned political confrontation into moral influence, forcing a moment of collective reflection among participants who had previously remained cautious in their criticism of Israel.
