Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan describes Hamas as a “liberation organization” and recently even described the legitimacy of the State of Israel as “questionable.” Now the 69-year-old head of state has again launched violent attacks against Israel.
It is a “terrorist state” that commits war crimes in the Gaza Strip and violates international law. Erdogan reiterated his position that the Palestinian militant group Hamas is not a terrorist organization. He called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare whether Israel has nuclear bombs or not.
The background is that one of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s ministers recently spoke out in favor of an attack with atomic bombs on the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu then said Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu’s comments “had no basis in reality.” Israel and the military acted “in accordance with the highest standards of international law to prevent harm to civilians.” The minister was also suspended.
Vortex before Erdogan’s visit to Germany
After Erdogan’s recent statements, there is great excitement in Germany in the run-up to the visit of the Turkish head of state. The chairman of the Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, does not see Erdogan as a legitimate political partner for Germany. “Anyone who not only denies Israel’s right to exist, but also actively opposes it, should not be a partner for German politics,” the editorial network Germany (RND) said on Wednesday.
