Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi recently held a crucial meeting in Ankara to address the escalating Israel-Hamas conflict and prevent its spread across the Middle East. Both leaders emphasized the importance of maintaining regional security and stability. However, differences emerged during the discussions, particularly regarding trade ties with Israel.

Raisi's visit aimed to address various issues between historically close but sometimes uneasy neighbors. The leaders tackled the delicate geopolitical balance in the region, reflecting differing perspectives on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Erdogan and Raisi's discussions had implications beyond the immediate region, impacting global trade and supply chains. The meeting occurred against the backdrop of joint US and UK airstrikes in Yemen in response to rebel attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes. Resulting disruptions in shipping led several companies to redirect traffic away from the Red Sea. The leaders grappled with their stance on Israel, with Erdogan viewing Hamas as legitimate "liberators" while Raisi advocated for nations to limit relationships with Israel. The complex geopolitical dynamics and differing perspectives showcased the challenges in finding a unified approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict and its repercussions on the wider global landscape.
