Calls for condemnation, removal from NATO after Erdogan threat

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says on X that “Israel won’t accept threats from a wannabe dictator” in response to Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan warning he could order an invasion of Israel.

“President Erdogan is ranting and raving again. He is a danger to the Middle East,” Lapid writes on X. “The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas.”

The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas.

We won’t accept threats from a wannabe dictator.

Also weighing in, Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders calls for Turkey to be removed from NATO over his comments.

“Islamofascist Erdogan threatens to invade Israel. This guy is totally nuts,” Wilders tweets. “Turkey should be kicked out of NATO.”
