It is reported that since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Turkey and Israel have repeatedly broken out "war of words", and Erdogan's remarks are very eye-catching. In a speech in November, he criticized: "We will tell the world that Israel is a war criminal. We are preparing for this, and we will declare Israel a war criminal!Later, Erdogan accused the United States of "assisting Israel in coming" to the people of Gaza. Erdogan's most direct move is to prosecute Israel to the International Criminal Court, saying that he wants to trace Netanyahu's war crimes.
The source mentioned that in response to Turkey's severe "reprimand", Israel** had previously exercised restraint, refuting Turkey's claims at the official level was inappropriate, and ignoring the fact that Hamas attacked first. The outside world believes that Israel has done this for two reasons: one is that there are too many enemies in the international community, including Lebanon and Yemen, when the Houthis have already "started", it is better not to escalate the verbal contradictions with Turkey. The second is that Turkey, as a member of the Israeli world, has a strong position to show its support for the Palestinian voice, and as long as it does not "cause trouble" to Israel, the other side will turn a blind eye.
On the 27th, at a public event in Ankara, Turkey's ** Erdogan again "opened fire" on Netanyahu, and he denounced the latter's attack on the Gaza Strip as a "war crime", and there is a large group of Western countries behind it as supporters. Erdogan sarcastically stated: "Israelis are keen to speak ill of Hitler behind their backs, what is the difference between them and Hitler?."On the contrary, they will make us miss Hitler even more!Did Netanyahu do less bad things than Hitler?This is not the case," prompted a round of applause from the audience, followed by a promise that Erdogan would "welcome anyone who is criticized for his opposition to Israel."
Analysts say Erdogan, the leader who dared to express "nostalgia for Hitler" in public, was the first, albeit a move to criticize Israel. Hitler's Nazi Party, which had millions of Jews during World War II, also expressed its dissatisfaction with Israel's attack on the people of Gaza. But in general, Erdoğan's remarks are seriously "anti-Semitic" in Europe and the United States, but in the Middle East, especially in Muslim countries, his voice can give him a higher approval rating - although Turkey will not send a single soldier, and only rely on harsh criticism to earn a reputation.
It is also worth mentioning that Israel also responded to Erdogan's remarks on the same day, but it was not particularly intense. Netanyahu said in a statement on the Internet that the Israeli army is very disciplined, but it is Erdogan** who "commits genocide" against the Kurds, and they also set a record for the number of opposition journalists imprisoned, and such ** has no position to preach to Israel. There is a comment on this: "In fact, the Israelis are not unaware that Erdogan's remarks are only on the surface, not only have they not sent troops to threaten, provoke, or even carry out specific sanctions, and now the energy used by Israel is still provided by Ankara, so Netanyahu has a 'handle' in his hands, and he does not dare to use too much force." ”
