Turkey’s Erdogan expresses an explicit threat to invade Israel

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatens to invade Israel in support of the Palestinians.

“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine,” says Erdogan, one of the most bitter critics of Israel on the international stage, referring to the war against Hamas in Gaza.

“Just as we entered [Nagorno-]Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we might do the same to them. There is nothing we can’t do. We must only be strong.”

Turkey is a member of NATO, which includes the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, and other close Israeli allies.
