Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan described Iran's self-defense against Israel as legitimate, claiming that Netanyahu has long surpassed the cruel Hitler in the crime of genocide. Erdogan said that Israel continues its policy of occupation and massacre in Palestine.

According to him, the most horrific photos and videos of World War II are very innocent compared to the images emerging from Gaza today. He said that during the Holocaust in Europe, there were no images as horrific and as inhumane as those we see in Gaza.

Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he said he hopes that sooner or later he will be brought before an independent international court, will face everything he has done and will be held accountable for the crimes and massacres he has committed in this world, without waiting for the afterlife.

"I repeat, silence in the face of this aggression, this disregard for the rules, this state terrorism and plunder, means that you accept what is happening. Not only those who support Israel's courage, but also those who remain silent, have the blood of murdered civilians, babies and children on their hands and in their hair, and this blood will never be washed away," the Turkish president said.

He also noted that Turkey is doing and will continue to do everything it can to stop this inhuman aggression both in Gaza and in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran.

Erdogan also said that Turkey is preparing for any kind of negative development, for any scenario.

"We do not pay attention to the challenges of those who until yesterday voluntarily acted as advocates for Israel and without shame or inhibition called Hamas a terrorist organization. Those who mercilessly criticized me for my speech at the beginning of my parliamentary term, because I drew attention to Israel's increasing aggression, today have no right to give us advice and question our sensitivity, but, if they have any self-respect left, they should admit their mistakes and apologize," added Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He also stressed that since June 13, when the conflict between Israel and Iran began, he has engaged in speaking twice with the presidents of the United States, Donald Trump, and Iran, Masud Peskov, as well as with regional leaders, as well as with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
