In Regional Impacts, Turkey’s interior minister has publicly urged for governance of Jerusalem, saying Jerusalem should be liberated and that lands will be theirs again under Turkey’s leadership; he framed the statement in the context of regional power shifts and cited Erdoğan as a world leader guiding such prospects. A Hebrew-language post quoted the claim that “Jerusalem will return to be ours” as part of the broader regional rhetoric.
