Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has strongly criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing him of "rolling out the red carpet" for Hamas terrorists and supporting their activities. Katz stated that Erdogan continues to aid Hamas, which is responsible for the deaths of Israelis, and facilitates their terrorist operations from Turkey in conjunction with the Muslim Brotherhood against Israel and regional Muslim states.
Katz reiterated threats against Hamas leadership outside of Gaza, vowing that their elimination is inevitable. He specifically mentioned Hamas leader Khalil al-Haj, stating he would "go to hell" along with Ismail Haniyeh and his associates. Israel has previously eliminated Hamas leaders within Gaza and intends to eliminate all those involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Earlier, Katz had warned that Hamas leaders operating outside Gaza could also become targets of Israeli operations. He also previously cautioned that any attempt by Hamas to abduct an Israeli soldier or civilian would have severe consequences, potentially forcing the entire population of Gaza City, approximately one million people, to relocate to the southern part of the enclave.
Katz's remarks follow Erdogan's recent accusations against Israel at the UN General Assembly, where he blamed Israel for actions against the population of Gaza. Katz had previously urged Erdogan not to interfere in Israel's internal affairs.
