US & Turkey hold joint military drills, largest in 7 years, in a bid to improve ties | Oneindia News
Turkey and the US held their largest joint military exercises in at least seven years.
It is reported to be a sign of improving ties between the two nations as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks another meeting with Joe Biden next month.
Reports quoted three Turkish officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
They said that the past week’s drills, along with a visit from a bipartisan Congressional delegation, show both sides seeking to rebuild their longtime alliance.
The officials reportedly said that Turkey is seeking to arrange a meeting between Erdogan and the US president on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in New Delhi, following one in Lithuania last month.
In a bold statement, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to create a 30-kilometer-deep security zone within Syria. The zone is aimed at targeting Kurdish militants, particularly those from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its affiliates, the PYD and YPG. These groups are considered terrorist organizations by Turkey, and Erdogan emphasized the need for such a zone to secure Turkey’s borders and combat terrorism.

During his UNGA speech, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, urging global action to stop him. Erdoğan condemned the United Nations' inaction and criticized U.S. policy for supplying arms to Israel. He claimed over 41,000 Palestinians have been killed since last year's invasion and called for the recognition of Palestine. Erdoğan also warned of Israel’s role in escalating regional tensions with Hezbollah.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.

This move, aimed at supporting Ukraine's financial stability amid the ongoing war with Russia, has sparked debate in the U.S. Congress.
