Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has issued a stark warning that Ankara could launch military operations against Israel, over its continued bombardment of Lebanon.
Speaking at the International Asia-Political Parties Conference in Istanbul on Sunday, Mr Erdogan condemned what he described as Israeli atrocities and warned that Turkey possessed the capability to act militarily.
Drawing parallels with previous Turkish interventions in Libya and the Nagorno-Karabakh region, he said: "We will do the same to them." He continued that "there is nothing to prevent us from doing it".The Turkish leader then went on to launch a personal attack on the Israeli Prime Minister, accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of being "blinded by blood and hatred".
Mr Erdogan described Israeli actions as "barbaric" and claimed the country was running a "blood-stained genocide network" targeting civilians.
The escalating confrontation follows an indictment issued by a Turkish court on Friday against Mr Netanyahu alongside 35 additional Israeli officials for their involvement in stopping the "Sumud" Gaza flotilla last October.Those charged include Defence Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, with prosecutors in Istanbul alleging the officials conducted military operations against civilians in international waters.
