The Turkish Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdogan Israel has threatened military intervention. “Just as we entered Nagorno-Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we will do the same to them,” Erdogan said at an event held by his ruling AKP party in Rize on the Black Sea, with Israel in mind. He was referring to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, in which Erdogan has supported the conflicting party Azerbaijan with drones. In civil war-torn Libya, Ankara supports the internationally recognized government with military equipment and personnel.

In his speech, Erdogan praised the progress in Turkey’s defense industry and continued: “There is nothing we cannot do. We just have to be strong.”

Since the start of the Gaza war, relations between Israel and Turkey have deteriorated dramatically. Erdogan has described the Islamist Hamas as a “liberation organization” and compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. In mid-July, Erdogan declared that his country would no longer agree to future cooperation between NATO and its partner Israel until a lasting peace was achieved in the Palestinian territories.
