The Turkish president sent a threatening message of war, Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Israel in consequences of the bloody attack on the Golan Heights which resulted in the loss of the lives of 12 children and young people.
In particular, during his speech at the local organization of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in his hometown of Rize, Tayyip Erdogan hinted that Turkey can “enter Israel”.
While Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz gave a strong response through a social media post, in which compared the Turkish president to Saddam Hussein.
Specifically (Tayyip Erdoğan) stated that “What were our imports and what were our exports in the defense industry and where we have reached. But, my dear brothers, let none of this deceive us. We must be very strong so that this Israel cannot do these things to Palestine. Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we can do the same to them. There is nothing that cannot be done. We just have to be strong so that we can do what? Let us follow these steps.”
The Katz Response
In turn, Israel Katz in his post “responded” to Tayyip Erdogan’s threat by stating that “Erdogan is following the path of Saddam Hussein and threatening to attack Israel. Let him remember what happened there and how it ended.”

“We will not accept threats from a would-be dictator”
It states in detail “The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas.
We will not accept threats from a would-be dictator.”
President Erdogan is raving and raving again. He is a danger to the Middle East.
The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas.
We will not accept threats from an aspiring dictator.
