Decarat: The Middle East, a new order not based on submission or domination

Turkey’s Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, declared that Israel has become a “direct threat to global security”. He called for a collective international response, warning that rising instability can no longer be seen simply as a regional issue.

Speaking Friday at Oxford University on global realignment, Fidani said the world is experiencing a deep transformation and not just a geopolitical transition.

“What we are witnessing today is not a transition, but rather a transformation,” he said, arguing that states can no longer leave it to their own devices. “their security, diplomacy or strategic imagination to foreign delegations”.

Referring to regional tensions, Fidani underlined that the conflict has dealt “a heavy blow to economic development, security and global stability”. He added that: “Israel’s systemic threat to destabilize the region has transcended local borders and now poses a direct threat to global security.”

The Turkish top diplomat noted that the distinction between regional and global crises has disappeared. He emphasized the importance of the “middle powers”, describing them as states with “strategic geography” and the political will to produce results.

Fidan cited Turkey’s position as a NATO member and candidate for the EU, as well as its mediating role – from the grain initiative in the Black Sea to diplomacy in the Horn of Africa – as examples of Ankara’s contribution to crisis management.

He made calling for global institutional reforms and a new order in the Middle East, based on cooperation rather than “dominance or subjugation”, advocating regional solutions to regional problems.

While diplomatic talks are expected to continue, Fidan believes the impasse in negotiations on nuclear issues can be overcome soon.

Turkey has been in daily contact with the parties and welcomed steps towards extending the ceasefire, noting that progress in the nuclear talks can ease tensions even in strategic points such as the Strait of Hormuz. /tesheshi
