Erdogan unleashes new tirade against Netanyahu, warns of 'tyrants' historical end'

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a scathing attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the second day running, employing sharp rhetoric against the Israeli leadership and warning of accountability for what he called crimes in Gaza.

Israel, under its current leadership, has turned into a factory for discord, whose raw material is only blood and tears, only instability and chaos. Those who attack our region, like sharks smelling blood, will eventually be held accountable for the blood they have shed; the cry of the oppressed, which makes the sky tremble, will sooner or later grab tyrants by the collar.

Speaking at an event marking the 158th anniversary of the Red Crescent, the Turkish president labeled Israel a source of destabilization and violence in the region. He directly accused the current Israeli government of division and bloodshed, emphasizing that its stance threatens peace in the Middle East. "Israel, under its current leadership, has turned into a factory for discord, whose raw material is only blood and tears, only instability and chaos," Erdogan stated. "Those who attack our region, like sharks smelling blood, will eventually be held accountable for the blood they have shed; the cry of the oppressed, which makes the sky tremble, will sooner or later grab tyrants by the collar."

Continuing in a high tone, the Turkish president drew historical parallels, issuing a direct warning to those he said follow authoritarian and violent practices. He also pointed out that Turkey will not remain indifferent to the developments in Gaza. "Let those who follow in Hitler's footsteps today not forget that, if they continue like this, their end will be the same as that of other tyrants in history," he said, adding that Ankara will continue to support Palestinians and demand international accountability for actions committed in the Gaza Strip.

Erdogan had previously attacked Israel on Wednesday, accusing it of expansionism and cooperating with Turkey's rivals. Speaking to the parliamentary group of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in Ankara, the Turkish president sent a warning message to Israel not to threaten the security of Syria and Lebanon. "The security of Damascus and Beirut means security for Turkey; we cannot accept faits accomplis," he stated.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not leave the Turkish President's statements unanswered. In a harsh response, he called Erdogan an "anti-Semitic tyrant" and accused him of committing genocide against the Kurds, while claiming he supports Hamas, oppresses his own people, and imprisons political opponents. "He is the last person who can give moral lessons to the State of Israel," Netanyahu said on Wednesday, further escalating the public confrontation between the two leaders.
