In a recent address to the Turkish Parliament, he said the Jewish state \u201chas become increasingly arrogant\u201d and \u201ca source of threat not only for the region but also for humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erdogan said Israel\u2019s continuing efforts to degrade the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon and other jihadist groups in Syria now pose a threat to Turkey itself. He added that Lebanon and Syria are \u201cwithin Turkey\u2019s geography of love and brotherhood\u201d and that \u201cwe will not tolerate . . . any [Israeli attack] against our brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish president then compared Israel to Nazi Germany and declared, \u201cIsrael must be stopped; this is the duty of humanity and the humanitarian front. History must not be allowed to repeat itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to Israel, Erdogan concluded, \u201cWe already know your intentions, your aims, your goals very well. We see very well what you are pursuing. We are very well aware of the ultimate goal of the Promised Land delusion. With Allah\u2019s permission, we will never allow this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/israelmyglory.org\/article\/turkey-vows-liberation-of-jerusalem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sharply escalated his rhetoric against Israel to the point where military conflict between the two countries is no longer merely a theoretical possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,233],"tags":[234,65,200],"class_list":["post-8411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geopolitics","category-middle-east","tag-friends-of-israel","tag-israel","tag-turkey"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
