Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s attack on the so-called ‘nation-state’ law Tuesday morning.
“Erdogan massacred Syrians and Kurds and imprisoned tens of thousands of his fellow citizens,” Netanyahu said.
“The fact that the great ‘democrat’ Erdogan attacks the Nation-State Law is the greatest compliment.”
“Turkey, under Erdogan, has turned into a dark dictatorship, while Israel adheres strictly to equal rights for all its citizens, both before the law and after,” said Netanyahu.
The Turkish president earlier slammed Tel Aviv, saying that “Hitler’s spirit re-emerges in some of Israel’s rulers,” local media reported.
Speaking to lawmakers from the ruling Justice and Development Party, Erdogan accused Israel of being “the most fascist and racist country in the world,” adding that he sees “no difference” between current Israeli policies and racist laws of Nazi Germany.
