Turkish FM Condemns Israeli Counterpart’s Remarks on President Erdogan
Ankara, The Gulf Observer: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has strongly criticized Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz for his recent comments targeting Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Fidan described Katz’s remarks as indicative of a “complete sickness.”
“Israel Katz’s obsession with constantly targeting our country and our esteemed President with his delusions, instead of fulfilling his duties as Foreign Minister, is a complete sickness,” Fidan declared in a statement on X on Friday.
Fidan further condemned Katz, stating, “This individual, whose existence in the cabinet is solely dedicated to spewing slander and lies, is a monument to the impudence and brazenness of the genocidal Netanyahu government.”
In a separate statement, Turkish Communications Director Fahrettin Altun also rebuked Katz’s comments about Erdogan, asserting that Türkiye has nothing to learn from “bloodthirsty genocidal murderers.”
“There is nothing our President or our country can learn from bloodthirsty genocidal murderers like you! The massacres you have committed against our Palestinian brothers and sisters, as well as the disgraceful genocide you have perpetrated, will one day be held to account,” Altun said in his statement on X on Friday.
Altun added, “The more you utter Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s name with your filthy mouth, which drains the blood of innocents, the more decisively we will support and stand behind him.”
The remarks from both Turkish officials highlight the ongoing tension and heated rhetoric between Türkiye and Israel, reflecting deeper geopolitical and ideological divides.
