WASHINGTON
Israel's latest attacks against Lebanon will lead to the spread of the war to the region, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Sunday.
"The recent attacks against Lebanon and the recent statements made by Israel are a clear manifestation of the efforts to spread the war to the region," Erdogan said at an event hosted by the Turkish-American National Steering Committee (TASC) in New York.

Erdogan arrived in the US on Saturday to address the 79th session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
The president also said that the genocide that Israel is carrying out on Palestinian lands, especially in the Gaza Strip, also threatens peace in the region.
"Global institutions and organizations have taken no effective steps to end the oppression in Gaza or prevent Israel's massacre," he added.
