Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered another antisemitic speech, during which he compared Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fascist leaders on Saturday.
In the speech, Erdogan compared Netanyahu to historical fascist leaders, stating that "Netanyahu earned his place alongside Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin."
The Turkish President also refused to condemn Hamas's actions on October 7 and even stood by the terrorist group in his rhetoric. Erdogan accused Israel of acting as "the Nazis of our time while committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza." He refused to call Hamas a terrorist organization: "We cannot be coerced into designating Hamas as a terrorist organization. We communicate with them openly and stand behind them."
