Netanyahu’s remarks against President Erdogan ‘result of discomfort caused by the truths’: Türkiye

Netanyahu, who is called the Adolf Hitler of this era due to his crimes, is known for his records, said the ministry in a statement.

Noting the arrest warrant that has been issued for Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, the statement warned about Netanyahu’s attempts, which aim to undermine the ongoing peace talks and continue his expansionist policies in the region.

The statement further reiterated Türkiye’s determination in its efforts to hold Netanyahu accountable for his crimes, along with supporting innocent civilians.

Condemnation messages also poured in from members of the presidential Cabinet for the remarks.

Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said that “the light of truth is the nightmare of the oppressors,” adding that Netanyahu’s remarks targeting Erdogan are a reflection of his discomfort with the exposure of the truth and a manifestation of a “sense of guilt,” and are “null and void.”

Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said Netanyahu’s remarks, coming from a person subject to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, “demonstrate the depth of the legal and moral impasse” he faces.

Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said Netanyahu, whom he described as responsible for attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip, made “baseless” accusations that reflect “desperation and political exhaustion.”
