Top Turkish diplomat says Netanyahu, PKK similar since both are ‘child killers’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu continues his country’s latest verbal clash with Israel by again calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “child killer.”
“Netanyahu is very uneasy these days since he understands that he can’t divide Syria anymore,” Cavusoglu says during a meeting with his Tunisian counterpart in Tunis.
He claims Netanyahu has “long supported” the Kurdish party PKK, which Ankara brands a terror organization. He also likens the two, saying their “common feature” is that “they are both child killers.”
Yesterday Netanyahu called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an “anti-Semitic dictator,” after Turkish leaders slammed him in the latest round of a years-long war of words between the countries.
