Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has declared that there are no differences between the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The Turkish leader made these remarks on Wednesday, December 27th.
Erdogan compared Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip to the treatment given by Nazis to the Jewish people. He labeled Israel as a “terrorist state,” referred to Netanyahu as the “butcher of Gaza,” and regarded Hamas, which governs the Palestinian territory, as a “liberation group.”
Erdogan intensified his criticism against Israel after the destruction in Gaza by the Israeli offensive ordered by Prime Minister Netanyahu in response to the bloody attack by Hamas militants on October 7th in southern Israel.
