Erdogan threatens Israel warns action if talks fail

ANKARA: (Web Desk) – In Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a strong warning regarding Israel, stating that Turkey could take military action if ongoing negotiations do not succeed. He sharply criticized Israeli policies, comparing them to the discriminatory practices of Adolf Hitler, and argued that imposing the death penalty specifically on Palestinians reflects a form of racist and fascist governance.

Erdoğan also targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of pursuing violent policies and likening his actions to those of Hitler. He alleged that Israeli forces continued attacks in Lebanon even during ceasefire conditions, resulting in civilian casualties. He warned that Turkey could intervene militarily in a manner similar to its past involvement in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh if diplomacy fails.
