Turkish PM: Israel Has 'Surpassed' Hitler, Is a 'Terrorist State'

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that Israel has “surpassed what Hitler did to them” and declared it a “terrorist state.” 

During an interview on Wednesday’s “Connect the World” on CNN International, he argued that it was “beyond comprehension that Israel is still defended by the West.” He said, “What Israel does to Palestine, to Gaza right now, has surpassed what Hitler did to them.” 

Erdoğan further accused the Israelis of rejecting ceasefires that Hamas wants and “spitting death, spitting blood.” He further defended his country’s involvement with Qatar, despite accusations by Israel that Qatar supports terrorists, by declaring Israel “a terrorist state.” He added that his country’s involvement with Qatar is a show of support for the “persecuted.”
