He has branded Israel a “terrorist state” and called Hamas a “liberation group”.

“Netanyahu has written his name in history as the Gaza massacrer,” Erdogan said in a speech broadcast nationally, as reported by the news agency. AFPWednesday (29/11/2023).
“Netanyahu endangering the security of all Jews in the world by supporting anti-Semitism through the murders he committed in Gaza,” added the Turkish leader.
Sharp rhetoric Erdogan this risks undermining Türkiye’s burgeoning relations with Israel.

They also discussed developing closer trade ties and working on new energy projects, which could help build long-term trust.
