Turkey’s Erdogan Escalates Anti-Israel Rhetoric With Threat of Intervention

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is escalating his rhetoric against Israel, suggesting Turkey could intervene on behalf of Palestinians, possibly with military support, in ways similar to what it has done in other conflicts.

“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine,” Erdogan said in his hometown of Rize on Sunday. “Just as we entered Karabakh and Libya, we might do the same here. There is nothing we cannot do. We must be very strong.”
