Senior Israeli officials bash Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after his latest outburst at Israel amid the war against Hamas in Gaza.
Energy Minister Israel Katz, who is set to take over as foreign minister next year, says Erdogan “exposed his true face” during a mass rally today in Istanbul.
“The man of the Muslim Brotherhood supports Hamas-Daesh terror,” Katz writes on X. “Even his kaffiyeh will not cover up the shame.”
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan says “a snake will remain a snake.”
“[Erdogan] tried to improve his image, but remains an antisemite,” Erdan is quoted as saying by Army Radio.
