The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying “just as the end of the genocidal Hitler came, so too will be the end of the genocidal Netanyahu,” according to the official Anadolu Agency.

“Just as the genocidal Nazis were held accountable, those who seek to destroy the Palestinians will also be held accountable,” the statement continued.

“Humanity will stand with the Palestinians. You will not be able to destroy the Palestinians,” it added.

The statement came after Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to remarks by the Turkish president in which he suggested Turkiye should enter Israel to help the Palestinians. Katz said, “Erdogan was following in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein […] Just let him remember what happened there and how it ended.”
