Erdogan: Barbarian, Bloodthirsty Netanyahu must be Stopped
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “who is dragging the region and the entire world into disaster,” must be stopped, Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.
“This barbarian, thug, and bloodthirsty greedy named Netanyahu, who is dragging our region and the entire world into disaster, must be stopped,” Erdogan said on Sunday during his speech in the capital Ankara.
“As Türkiye, we object to the oppression, massacre and injustice that has been going on for 76 years on every platform. We stand with the Palestinian people with all our means,” he added.
On the fight against terrorism, Erdogan said: “Türkiye cannot find peace or feel secure until the terror-producing swamps in northern Iraq and Syria are drained.”
More than 36,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a deadly Israeli offensive on Gaza since last October 7 following a Hamas attack. The majority of those killed have been women and children, with over 82,600 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Vast tracts of Gaza lay in ruins amid Israel’s crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the ongoing genocidal war.
