Opposition Leader Yair Lapid denounces Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after the latter said that Israel is a “terrorist state.”
“We won’t take lessons in morality from President Erdogan, a man with an appalling human rights record,” Lapid writes on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Israel is defending itself against brutal terrorists from Hamas-ISIS, some of whom have been allowed to operate under Erdogan’s roof,” Lapid says.
Turkey has long served as a safe haven for senior leaders of Hamas.
