President Erdogan of Turkey said Binyamin Netanyahu was “no different from Hitler” as he accused Israel of “war crimes” in Gaza.
Speaking at an event in Ankara, Erdogan said Turkey would welcome academics and scientists who faced persecution for their views on the conflict in Gaza, adding that western countries that supported Israel were complicit in what he called war crimes.
“They used to speak ill of Hitler. What difference do you have from Hitler? They are going to make us miss Hitler. Is what this Netanyahu is doing any less than what Hitler did? It is not,” Erdogan said. “He is richer than Hitler; he gets the support from the West. All sorts of support comes from the United States. And what did they do with all this support? They killed more than 20,000 Gazans.”
