The Turkish president believes that the fate reserved for Palestinians in Gaza is comparable to that of Jews under the Nazi regime.
THE turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared this Wednesday that the Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, acted no differently from Adolf Hitler, comparing the fate of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to that of the Jews under the Nazi regime in Germany.
Turkey criticizes the military offensive from the start in the Gaza Strip launched in retaliation for the attack by Palestinian Hamas in southern Israel on October 7.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday his country would welcome researchers and academics threatened for their opinions on the conflict in Gaza, adding that Western countries supporting Israel were in his eyes accomplices to war crimes.
“They will end up making us regret Hitler”
“They said bad things about Hitler. What’s the difference with Hitler? They will end up making us regret Hitler. Is this Netanyahu doing less than what Hitler did? No”said the Turkish president.
“He is richer than Hitler, he has the support of the West. All kinds of support comes from the United States. And what have they done with all this support? They have killed more than 20,000 Gazans“he added.
Benjamin Netanyahu reacted by judging that the Turkish president, whom he accused of committing genocide against the Kurds and imprisoning journalists, was the last person who could lecture Israel.
Despite this public criticism, Turkey has maintained trade ties with Israel since October 7.
