At UNGA, Erdogan again compares Netanyahu to Hitler, calls for alliance to stop Israel

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan again compares Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler, this time doing it in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

“Just as Hitler was stopped by an alliance of humanity seventy years ago, Netanyahu and his murder network must be stopped by an alliance of humanity,” he says.

Erdogan claims that the values of the UN system and the Western world are “dying in Gaza” and calls for an “alliance of humanity” to stop Israel, blasting the UN Security Council for failing to end the war in Gaza.

Having taken the lectern just after US President Joe Biden, Erdogan doesn’t hide his contempt for Washington’s policy in the region. “Those who are supposedly working for a ceasefire from this stage continue to send arms and ammunition to Israel so it can continue its massacres.”

Turning to the latest tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, Erdogan says that Turkey stands with the people of Lebanon and accuses Israel of dragging the entire region into war over its attacks on Hezbollah terrorists.

“What more are you waiting for to stop the massacre network that endangers also the lives of its own citizens along with the Palestinian people and drags the entire region into war for the sake of its political prospects?” Erdogan asks.
