“May God destroy him” – Time

“We hand over to our Lord the individual known as Benjamin Netanyahu. May our Lord destroy him and make him miserable.” These are the very harsh declarations of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a rally held yesterday in Kayseri. “Our duty is to help the brothers and sisters of Gaza with all our strength and appreciate the security, peace and blessings we have,” the rest of the words of the Sultan of Ankara.

A series of phrases that sent Israel into a rage. Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded firmly to Erdogan: “Shut up and be ashamed. Those who support the burning of children, murderers, rapists and the mutilation of corpses by Hamas criminals are the last ones who can talk about God. There is no God who will listen to those who support the atrocities and crimes against humanity committed by your barbaric friends in Hamas.” Katz also made it known on social media that he had summoned the Turkish deputy ambassador to Tel Aviv.

Already a few days ago, as has often happened since the beginning of the conflict between Hamas and Israel, Erdogan and Netanyahu had not sent word to each other. “Israel, which adheres to the laws of war, will not accept moral sermons from Erdogan, who supports the murderers and rapists of the terrorist organization Hamas, denies the Armenian Holocaust and massacres the Kurds in his own country,” was the prime minister’s reply Israeli Netanyahu in a post on the social network against humanity they committed in Gaza.”
