Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz made a bold statement on Monday, accusing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of genocide and referencing historical conflicts involving Turkey. Katz took to his social media account to make the accusation, stating that Erdogan should be held responsible for his actions against Kurdish citizens, occupation of northern Cyprus, and crimes against humanity.
Erdogan had previously criticized Israel after an attack on a displaced persons camp in Rafah, accusing them of causing the deaths of Palestinian civilians. He called out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for their actions, stating that they cannot break the resistance of the Palestinians and resort to violence to extend their political life.
In response to Erdogan’s criticism, Turkey vowed to hold Israel accountable for their actions and referred to Netanyahu as being remembered with curses alongside historical tyrants. The tension between the two countries continues to escalate, with harsh words being exchanged on both sides. Despite efforts by international leaders to mediate the conflict, the situation remains complex and has implications for regional stability.
