A google search turns up the Telegraph's Facebook page, but going to that shows it's been deleted. Turkish media says:

Türkiye debunks unfounded claims of invasion threat toward Israel

Türkiye Communications Directorate’s Center for Countering Disinformation has rejected social media claims that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan threatened to invade Israel, saying the posts rely on an out-of-context quote from a 2024 speech.

“The assertions in these posts do not reflect the facts and constitute narratives intended to undermine regional stability. In line with its long-standing state tradition and vision, the Republic of Türkiye has consistently assumed a leading role, both in our region and beyond, in advocating for an end to bloodshed, the protection of civilians, and the establishment of lasting peace,” the Center said in a statement Monday.

I think this no longer qualifies for LBN.
