Katz to Erdogan: Invite Gazans to Anatolia if You Want to Help
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz directed a sharp response to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on X (formerly Twitter), stating that if Erdogan truly wishes to help the residents of Gaza, he should invite them to Anatolia. Katz's statement was made in response to Erdogan's recent remarks criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza and accusing Israel of war crimes.
Katz further accused Erdogan of supporting Hamas, referencing the presence of Hamas officials in Turkey. He also highlighted the ongoing hostage crisis, urging Erdogan to condemn Hamas and demand the release of the hostages. The Foreign Minister emphasized that Israel is acting in self-defense following the October 7th Hamas attack. He also pointed to the humanitarian aid Israel is facilitating to Gaza, contrasting it with what he described as Erdogan's hypocrisy.
