After Italy, Israel also reacts: Erdoğan supports terrorism, period

Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport Miki Zohar used the phrase "Erdoğan supports terrorism, period" for AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and called for a review of relations with Turkey.

In a post on his social media account "X", Zohar wrote: "Erdoğan supports terrorism, period. It is time to recalculate (review) our relations with Turkey".

WHAT DID ERDOĞAN SAY?

Speaking at his party's group meeting, President Erdoğan said the following:

"I am addressing Israel and the world; they are holding meetings. In their latest meeting, they all came together, the entire West, and view Hamas as a terrorist organization. Oh Israel, you might be an organization. Because the West owes you a lot, but Turkey owes you nothing. Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but a liberation and mujahideen group struggling to protect its lands and citizens."
