Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli published a hard-to-watch video showing Kurdish female fighters being executed by Turkish soldiers, in response to Turkish President Erdogan's claim that his forces act "with justice and compassion." The video was posted by Shikli on his social media channels, according to Israeli reports.
Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli (Likud) responded sharply on Wednesday morning to remarks by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan had claimed his country acts "with justice and compassion" — a comment widely understood as a swipe at Israel's military operations. In response, Shikli posted footage that he described as showing Kurdish female fighters being executed by Turkish soldiers.
The video, whose authenticity and provenance could not be immediately independently verified, was shared by Shikli across his social media platforms. The minister did not provide further context or detail on the footage's origin.
The exchange comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Turkey, with Erdogan frequently criticizing Israeli policy in Gaza and Lebanon. Shikli, a former right-wing MK known for his combative social media presence, has previously clashed publicly with foreign leaders over their rhetoric toward Israel.
The Zioneer has not independently confirmed the content of the video. The report is based on Shikli's post as covered by Israeli media.
