Erdogan Condemns Israel as a "Terror State" and Criticizes the West

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan referred to Israel as a "terror state" and accused it of committing war crimes and violating international law in Gaza. He reiterated his belief that Hamas is not a terrorist organization and criticized the West for providing unlimited support to Israel. Erdogan also called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to disclose whether Israel possesses nuclear weapons and predicted his departure from office. This is not the first time Erdogan has made such statements, as he has previously referred to Israel as an occupier and defended Palestinian "freedom fighters."
