Harsh message from Erdoğan to Israel: “Barbarism, banditry, state terrorism”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements after the Cabinet Meeting. Speaking after the meeting, which lasted approximately 3 hours, Erdogan gave striking messages about the developments in the Middle East.

Speaking about Israel’s blockade of Gaza, Erdogan blamed the Netanyahu administration by using the following statements.

“NETENYAHU IS TRYING TO RECOVER HIS LOST REPUTATION BY BOMBING HOSPITALS”

“This is called barbarism, banditry, state terrorism. Netanyahu is trying to regain his lost reputation by bombing hospitals, schools and places of worship. Almost all hospitals serving in Gaza were either destroyed, damaged or irreparable due to Israeli attacks.

“WE FOLLOW THE WEST’S UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITH RED FACES”

While we, as the Turkish nation, are mobilized to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, we follow the unscrupulousness of Western countries with shame. Israeli occupation forces are massacring women, children, journalists, the elderly, civilians and innocents. But there is not even the slightest reaction from any country, from the USA to Europe.

DIALOGUE WITH GERMANY

The Israeli administration uses the Holocaust as a shield for attacks that amount to genocide against Palestinians. Israel immediately tries to stifle any reaction, including calls for a ceasefire, by bracketing it as anti-Semitism. I witnessed this with sadness during our last visit to Germany. Even though we think differently on the Gaza issue, I attach great importance to our strong historical friendship with Germany. We are determined to strengthen our cooperation in every field with Germany, our largest trade partner with a total trade volume of 50 billion dollars. Both President Steinmeier and Chancellor Scholz agreed on these issues in my meetings. We will continue to engage in dialogue with Germany to prevent the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and establish lasting peace in the region.

THE FALSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE WEST AND ISRAEL

The only country that Israel cannot label as anti-Semitic, no matter how hard it tries, is Turkey. Because you cannot see such a stain of shame in Turkey’s development, neither distant nor close. This is why we courageously speak out what we believe to be true, even if it disturbs someone. I am comfortable speaking. Why am I comfortable? We have no debt. But they all owe Israel a debt. They are paying debts. Here are the troubles. “What is truly shameful is the false brotherhood that Western countries display with Israel in covering up their massacres.”
