Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “the butcher of Gaza” and accused him of spawning anti-Semitism across the world.
Erdogan has lashed out repeatedly at Israel for the scale of death and destruction caused by its response to Hamas militants’ unprecedented October 7 cross-border attack.
He has branded Israel a “terrorist state” and called Hamas “a liberation group”.
Erdogan redoubled those attacks during an appearance before his Islamic-rooted ruling party members in parliament.
