Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has used the UN climate summit in Turkey to characterise the Gaza war as an “ecocide,” marking a significant escalation in diplomatic criticism of Israeli military operations from Ankara. Erdoğan also used the international platform to criticise the United States alongside Israel.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi similarly used the UN gathering to condemn Israel and the United States, alleging both nations “inflicted severe damage on the environment” during recent military conflicts in the region.

Israel’s government responded dismissively to the accusations, characterising them as a “campaign of lies.” The exchange reflects deepening diplomatic tensions between Israel and regional actors at international forums, particularly on issues related to environmental and humanitarian consequences of military operations.
