The meeting, which started at 1130 GMT, was joined by foreign and defence ministers as well as chief of staff and intelligence chief, the source said.

The talks at the foreign ministry in the capital Ankara "focussed on the process that started with Israeli airstrikes on Iran and their possible repercussions", the same source added.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned that Israel was seeking to drag the world into "disaster" after strikes on Iran, urging the international community to stop what he called Israel's "banditry".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government "is trying to drag our region and the entire world into disaster with its reckless, aggressive and lawless actions," Erdogan said on X.

A vocal critic of Israel and a fervent advocate of the Palestinian cause, Erdogan accused Israel of carrying "its strategy of drowning our region, especially Gaza, in blood, tears and instability to a very dangerous stage".
