Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan does not miss an opportunity to attack Israel. During a speech Wednesday at an event in Ankara, he said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was no different from Adolf Hitler and compared Israel's attacks on Gaza to the Nazis' treatment of Jews.

"Israeli cruelty served as a kind of litmus test. It became clear who really defends human rights and dignity and who only exploits them." Erdoran said, adding: "We watched Israel's Nazi camps. What kind of work is this? You know, they talk about Hitler in a weird way. How are you different from Hitler? These will make us look like Hitler. This is worse than Hitler. He gets support from the West."
These statements do not surprise anyone in Jerusalem, since from the beginning of the war in Gaza, the Turkish president has chosen to stand by the Palestinians unequivocally. In the last period he insisted that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, after calling Netanyahu the "butcher" and "butcher" of Gaza and even came out with his own prediction: "The days are approaching when we will defeat the Israeli aggression in Gaza," the real Erdogan, the one who has always been here, returned, but this time without masks and filters.
Speaking at an event in Ankara, Erdogan also reiterated his criticism of Western support for Israel, adding that Turkey was ready to welcome academics and scientists who have faced persecution for their views on the Gaza conflict.
