Erdogan Threatens Military Action in Gaza Conflict

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened potential military intervention in Israel, citing past actions in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh as precedents. This follows his criticism of Israel’s Gaza offensive, leading to heightened tensions with Israeli officials. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz compared Erdogan to Saddam Hussein, warning him of a similar fate. Erdogan’s remarks have sparked backlash from NATO members and calls for Turkey’s expulsion from NATO by Dutch leader Geert Wilders. Analysts believe Erdogan is likely to increase support for Palestinian groups rather than direct military action. The Israeli government has urged NATO countries to condemn Erdogan’s threats, but no official condemnation has been issued.
