Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement on Tuesday describing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as an antisemitic dictator who commits genocide against Kurds, supports Hamas, oppresses his own people, and imprisons political rivals. Netanyahu added that Israel and the IDF will continue to operate forcefully against Iran and its proxies. The statement is the latest escalation in the long-running war of words between the two leaders, following recent Erdogan remarks calling to stop Israel.
