Turkey threatens to attack Israel in order to help Palestine

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Ankara might enter Israel as it did with Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh; in order to help the Palestinians.

โ€œWe must be very strong so that Israel canโ€™t do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them,โ€ he said during a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize.

โ€œThere is no reason why we cannot do this โ€ฆ We must be strong so that we can take these steps,โ€ Erdogan added in the meeting, which was televised.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to Erdoganโ€™s comments saying on X that the Turkish President is โ€œfollowing Saddam Hussein’s footsteps and threatens to attack Israelโ€.

Katz stated Erdogan should “remember what happened there and how it ended”.

Erdogan was referring to his countryโ€™s military intervention in Libya in 2020 to support the UN recognised government of National Accord of Libya.

Last year, Turkey said it was using โ€œall meansโ€ including military, to support Azerbaijan, which launched a military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey denied, however, any direct intervention in Azerbaijanโ€™s military operations there.
