During a phone call with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that the Israeli regime has now become more isolated than ever.
This comes in the context of "Israel's" ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza, which has sparked international outrage over the systematic killing of Palestinian civilians.
During their phone conversation, the two leaders discussed the implementation of bilateral projects that were agreed upon during Raisi's last visit to Ankara.
Raisi further expressed his gratitude to Erdogan for condemning the recent Israeli aggression against the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
He stressed that the support of Western countries and the inaction of international bodies regarding Zionist crimes have caused further harm to them and their reputation.
Erdogan, for his part, reiterated his condemnation of the terrorist attack on the Iranian consulate and called for expediting the implementation of bilateral projects.
Commenting on the apartheid nature of the Zionist regime, he said, "Today, the Zionist regime is more isolated and hateful than ever."

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday condemned "Israel's" rejection of Turkey's request to airdrop aid into Gaza, vowing that Ankara will take new measures against the regime.
"Today we learned that our request... was rejected by Israel. There is no excuse for Israel to block our attempt to airlift aid to starving Gazans," Fidan said. "We decided to take a series of new measures against Israel."
On Tuesday, the Turkish Trade Ministry announced the restriction of exports of certain products to "Israel", citing the continued genocide in Gaza.
The Ministry said that the restriction will continue until "Israel" implements a cease-fire and allows “sufficient and uninterrupted flow" of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
