TL;DR

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday evening said the 'Zionist entity responsible for the massacre' is expanding its attacks to Lebanon and Syria, and that the current Israeli government, which he called dependent on war, should not be allowed to 'drench the region in blood.'

01 · THE DISPATCH

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday evening issued a new statement attacking Israel, accusing it of being a 'Zionist entity responsible for the massacre' and asserting that it will not leave Lebanon and Syria alone. The statement also called the current Israeli government 'dependent on war' and said it should not be allowed to 'drench the region in blood.' This is the latest in a series of increasingly hostile remarks by Erdogan toward Israel. As The Zioneer reported on June 27, Erdogan previously called Zionism an existential threat to Turkey and the world. The statement comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza and heightened tensions with Lebanon and Syria.
