Erdogan Ally Calls for Turkish Empire, Destruction of Israel

By כיכר השבת, יהודה גליקמן
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

A senior figure in Ankara and close associate of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has published an inflammatory post calling for the destruction of Israel and the recreation of the Ottoman Empire by force. The post, described as "hopeless terror," outlines a vision of Turkey reclaiming its former territories and asserting dominance over its neighbors.

The individual, identified as a senior voice of the Turkish regime, expressed a desire to "flow millions into Israel" and leave "no stone unturned," implying a destructive intent. This extreme scenario threatens to reignite the entire region, according to the article's political analysis.

The article frames this statement as a dangerous and potentially destabilizing vision, suggesting it could lead to renewed conflict in the Middle East. The rhetoric reflects a maximalist and aggressive foreign policy stance attributed to elements within the Turkish leadership.
