Türkiye slams Israeli premier over his remarks targeting President Erdogan

Türkiye on Saturday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his remarks targeting President Erdogan, saying: "Everyone knows that he (Netanyahu) has no moral values and legitimacy to lecture anyone."

"Netanyahu who has orchestrated a genocide in Gaza and attacked seven countries in the region dares targeting our President out of desperation," said Türkiye's Communications Director Burhanettin Duran on US-based social media platform X.

Noting that Netanyahu is a "criminal with arrest warrants to his name with no friends left," Duran underscored that his policies are pulling the region into instability and conflict as a means of staying in power.

"He will be held accountable sooner or later for his crimes against humanity," Duran added.

He reiterated Ankara's determination its fight "against oppressors for a more just, peaceful, and secure world. "
