Israel’s Lapid calls Erdogan ‘a danger to the Middle East’
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid condemned remarks from Erdogan, in which he suggested Turkey may enter Israel to help Palestinians.
“President Erdogan is ranting and raving again. He is a danger to the Middle East,” Yair Lapid wrote on X.
“The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas. We won’t accept threats from a wannabe dictator.”
Earlier, Erodgan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel’s war on Gaza, told members of his party that “we need to be very strong so that Israel cannot do these ridiculous things to Palestine”.
“Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we can do something similar to them,” he said, referring to the Azerbaijan-Armenia war over the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the 2020 conflict in Libya, when Turkey country sent troops to support the country’s government.
Looks like it's you that's ranting and raving... And since this is the 'opposition', I doubt Israeli elections will change much if anything :/
