Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has branded Israel a “terror state” that is committing “genocide” in Gaza and claimed the country's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a 'goner.'
In remarks on Wednesday to the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) parliamentary group meeting in Ankara, Erdogan also challenged Netanyahu to reveal whether Israel possesses nuclear weapons, before adding that such an arsenal won’t help the embattled prime minister anyway.
Erdogan launched several personal attacks at the Israeli leader, claiming that Netanyahu is bound to lose his post regardless of how the hostilities in Gaza play out.
“We see Netanyahu flanked by ministers during his news conferences. He thinks these ministers will save him. Netanyahu is a goner,” Erdogan said.
In his speech, Erdogan doubled down on his assessment of the conflict in Gaza as “genocide” by Israel. Those remaining silent on Israeli operations in the Palestinian enclave and allegations of crimes against humanity are as “complicit in those crimes as the perpetrators,” he stressed.
