Israel PM calls Turkey's Erdogan 'antisemitic dictator'

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an "antisemitic dictator", and vowed Israel would "continue to act forcefully against Turkey's attempts to destabilise the region".

"Erdogan is an antisemitic dictator who massacred Kurds, supports the massacre of the Hamas terrorist organisation, and oppresses his own people," Netanyahu's office said in a statement. "Israel will continue to act forcefully against Turkey's attempts to destabilise the region and against any threat to its security."
