Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in terms of the genocide he is accused of committing. He emphasized that Ankara is closely following what he described as Israel’s “terrorist” attacks on Iran.
In a speech during a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party’s parliamentary bloc in Ankara, Erdoğan said, “Iran’s defense of itself against illegal Israeli attacks is natural, legitimate, and legal.”
He added that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surpassed Hitler in terms of genocide,” referring to the escalating clashes in the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, now in its sixth day.
Erdoğan stated, “We are doing everything in our power to stop the brutal aggression on Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and our neighbor Iran,” and affirmed Turkey’s readiness to confront any negative scenarios arising from the Israeli-Iranian conflict.
He pointed out that “Ankara is closely monitoring Israel’s terrorist attacks on Iran, and all Turkish institutions are on high alert in anticipation of possible consequences,” while criticizing what he called the “silence of the United Nations, international institutions, and world nations in the face of blatant Israeli aggression.”
