Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacks Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing him of massacring Kurds in his country.
“Israel under my leadership will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan who accommodates them and massacred his own Kurdish citizens,” he writes on X.
The post seems to come in response to Turkish prosecutors seeking, according to reports in Turkey, up to 4,596 years in prison for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials for crimes against humanity, genocide and for stopping the Sumud flotilla from reaching Gaza in 2025.
