01 · THE DISPATCH

Tulsi Gabbard, who served as US Director of National Intelligence under President Trump until about a month ago, issued a sharp critique of the president's visit to Turkey, calling for Ankara to be declared a state sponsor of terror and expelled from NATO. Gabbard's statement, circulated on Israeli Telegram channels covering Iran, aligns with concerns raised by Israeli officials regarding Erdogan's government. As The Zioneer has reported, Prime Minister Netanyahu recently described Erdogan as an 'antisemitic dictator' and an 'enemy,' and Israeli analysts have warned that Erdogan may use his ties with Trump to pressure Israel. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman turned Trump administration official, urged the US to 'stop the Kurdish genocide' and 'defeat Hamas.' Her remarks add a high-profile American voice to the criticism of the Trump-Erdogan summit.
