Dr. Edy Cohen, an Israeli historian and Middle East expert, described Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's recent speech as a hateful tirade, calling him an antisemitic and Israel-hating figure who seeks to lead the entire Arab world. Cohen added, according to the report, "Let him keep dreaming."
Orientalist Dr. Edy Cohen offered a sharp assessment of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's latest speech, calling it a hateful tirade. Cohen characterized Erdogan as an antisemitic, Israel-hating leader whose ambition is to dominate the entire Arab world, adding dismissively, 'Let him keep dreaming.'
The remarks are the latest in a series of Israeli public figures responding to Erdogan's escalating rhetoric against Israel. As The Zioneer previously reported, PM Netanyahu called Erdogan an 'antisemitic dictator' who supports Hamas and commits genocide against Kurds, while MK Amit Halevi warned that Erdogan's threats stem from a clear ambition to control the Middle East. Several analysts have described Erdogan's rhetoric as mirroring Iran's but backed by NATO's advanced weaponry.
Cohen's comment, posted on his social media channels, adds a historian's perspective to the ongoing war of words. No further details were provided, and the statement has not been corroborated by other outlets.
