In a sharp response, the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated, “Netanyahu, who has been described as the Hitler of our time due to the crimes he has committed, is a well-known figure with a clear track record."
The Ministry accused Netanyahu's leadership of wrongdoing, specifically pointing to ongoing proceedings at international courts. It referenced the arrest warrant issued against the Prime Minister by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, weakening his administration's standing within the international community.
“Netanyahu's current objective is to undermine ongoing peace negotiations and continue his expansionist policies in the region. Failing this, he risks being tried in his own country and is likely to be sentenced to imprisonment,” the Ministry added.
The statement further reads, “The fact that our President has been targeted by Israeli officials with baseless, brazen, and false allegations is a result of the discomfort caused by the truths we have consistently voiced on every platform.”

On the accusation of attacking its own citizens, the Ministry said, "Turkiye will continue to stand by innocent civilians and will further its efforts to ensure that Netanyahu is held accountable for the crimes he has committed."
Hindustan Times quoted Erdogan as saying, “Netanyahu is blinded by blood and hatred. Had Pakistan not been mediating in the war between the US and Iran, we would have shown Israel its place." He added, “Just as we entered Libya and Karabakh, we can enter Israel. There is no reason not to do it. It will require strength and unity.”
