Lapid slams Erdogan after Turkey brands Israel a ‘terrorist state’

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid slams Turkey’s president, who earlier in the day called Israel a “terrorist state” that “kills children.”

“Those who deny the murder of children in the Armenian genocide should not preach morality at us,” says Lapid in a Twitter post.

Over fears of angering Turkey, Israel — along with other countries, including the United States and Germany — has refrained from formally recognizing the Armenian genocide.
