Foreign Minister Israel Katz responds to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s threat to invade Israel, comparing him to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
“Erdogan is going down the path of Saddam Hussein and threatens to attack Israel. He should just remember what happened there and how that ended,” writes Katz on X.
Hussein’s regime was toppled by a US-led invasion in 2003, and he was executed by an Iraqi court after being captured and tried.
