Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vows that Israel will pay a price for the “genocide” in Gaza as he marked October 7, the day of the Hamas massacre that sparked the war.
“It should not be forgotten that Israel will sooner or later pay the price for this genocide that it has been carrying out for a year and is still continuing,” he says on X, formerly Twitter.
A vocal advocate of the Palestinian cause and a supporter of the Hamas terror group, Erdogan has often attacked Israel, branding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the “butcher of Gaza” and comparing him to Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler.
“Just as Hitler was stopped by an alliance of humanity, Netanyahu and his murder network will be stopped in the same way,” Erdogan says.
“A world in which no account is held for the Gaza genocide will never find peace.”
Erdogan also criticizes the international system’s failure to stop the conflict in Gaza and now in Lebanon and says: “Israel’s long-standing policy of genocide, occupation and invasion must now come to an end.”
