Celebrations and commemorations held in Cyprus to mark 50th anniversary of Turkish invasion
Both Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will attend events on the island, which is divided between celebrations in the north and memorials in the south.
Turkish President Erdogan has threatened military action in Syria to prevent its division and eliminate terrorist groups like the PKK and YPG. Turkey aims to maintain Syria’s unity, improve relations with its new government, and oppose international sanctions. The situation risks escalating regional tensions, particularly with Israel over Iran's influence.

Turkish President Erdoğan has issued a stark warning to Kurdish militants in Syria, demanding they lay down their arms or face being "buried" in Syrian soil. This comes amidst escalating tensions with the YPG militia, part of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey views as linked to the PKK, a terrorist organization. Erdoğan also announced plans to open a consulate in Aleppo and expects increased border traffic as Syrian migrants begin returning. These developments underscore the evolving political landscape in Syria following Bashar al-Assad's departure.

Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East. The Nagel Commission report emphasizes that this could become an even greater risk to Israel than the ongoing concerns with Iran. Israel’s defense strategy is shifting, with recommendations to boost offensive military capabilities and allocate a larger defense budget. This evolving situation reflects broader regional instability, exacerbated by Turkey’s involvement and recent developments in Syria.
