Erdoğan says Netanyahu surpassed Hitler with Gaza genocide

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, saying the Israeli premier has “surpassed” Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler with attacks that have killed more than 57,000 Palestinians in nearly 20 months.

“Whoever remains silent about genocide in Gaza is complicit in crimes against humanity committed by Israel,” Erdoğan told the opening day of the 17th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) at Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul.

“No one with even shred of human dignity can accept this cruelty (in Gaza), where dozens of innocent people die every day due to lack of bread or water,” Erdoğan said.

Türkiye’s goal is to establish cease-fire as soon as possible, he said, adding that allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza is another priority.
