Israel–Turkey relations

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed his expectation for an apology from Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas after he declined an invitation to visit Türkiye.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the "Hitler of our time" in response to the ongoing violence in Gaza.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused Western powers of backing what he said were Israeli plans to attack Lebanon and "spread war" throughout the region.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has suggested that Cyprus put itself in the way of becoming a target of Hezbollah, after the Lebanon-based militant group threatened the EU member-state that it would become "part of this war too," if it allowed Israel to use its bases and airports.

Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke out on Saturday against "Israeli oppression" in the Gaza Strip, following the meeting of the D-8 countries in Istanbul.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on the international community to unite against Israel's "barbarism" in Gaza.

"I call on all states to protect the honor and dignity of humanity, along with the children of Gaza, and to take a clear stance against the out-of-control Israeli barbarism," Erdoğan said in a message shared on social media.

Humanitarian aid for Gaza is continuing to leave Cyprus by sea and will be held in floating storage off the coast of the enclave until a US-built military pier undergoes repairs, a Cypriot government official has said.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has lashed out at the United Nations, the United States and European nations, accusing them of complicity in the ongoing violence in Gaza.

"Is there not a shred of humanity left in you, do you have no limits, no boundaries? Are you so hostile to humanity, do you have no shred of conscience?" Erdoğan asked during a parliamentary meeting on May 29.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that more conflicts await the world if Western powers continue to stand behind Israel despite all its atrocities against the Palestinian people.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again called upon the international community to stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "the reckless Israeli government" from continuing their genocidal policies at the expense of their own citizens' security.
