Erdogan, who is currently facing mass opposition protests in Turkey, has made particularly aggressive statements against Israel during the war in Gaza.
Earlier this month, as Israel resumed military operations: 1. he labeled it a "terror state" 2. and Turkey supports diplomatic efforts to maintain a ceasefire.
During the war, Erdogan also compared Israel to the Nazis. "They have already surpassed Hitler.
Against those who continue to call Hamas a terrorist organization while seeking Israel’s sympathy, we will continue to support the Palestinian struggle for independence under all circumstances and defend it courageously.
Maybe we cannot announce everything we are doing, but I can say that our sensitivity toward Palestine cannot be underestimated," he said.
Last year, speaking before the Turkish parliament, Erdogan declared: "Anyone who speaks against us will be ashamed in the end. From this podium, I salute the Palestinian struggle and commemorate all the heroes of the Palestinian people who have fallen since October 7"
NATO member Turkey keeps getting away with his anti-Israel Rhetoric and calls for the destruction of Israel an ally
From: Ynet news March 31, 2025 Erdogan in Eid al-Fitr holiday greeting: 'May Allah destroy Israel'
Turkish president called for Israel’s destruction during a mosque visit marking the end of Ramadan: 'May Allah destroy Zionist Israel. We must see everything happening in Palestine, unite and be strong'
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a harsh criticism of Israel on Sunday, saying: 1. "We see what is happening in Palestine. 2. May Allah destroy Zionist Israel in his holy name. 3. We must see what is happening there, and therefore, we must unite, be strong, and be brothers here. 4. May Allah always strengthen our unity."
Erdogan made these remarks after visiting a mosque to mark the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, a Turkey expert at Tel Aviv University's Dayan Center, reacted to Erdogan's statement, saying: "As far as I remember, this is not the first time he has said something like this, but it is shocking.
Here we have a head of state who is explicitly calling for Israel's destruction. However, he frames it as a wish in Allah's name rather than saying he would do it himself."
Regarding Erdogan’s choice of words, Yanarocak explained: "Allah has 100 names, and one of them is 'Al-Qahhar,' which means 'The Destroyer.'
Erdogan is essentially saying: We have reached the end of the holiday, and instead of using the word Allah, he uses 'Al-Qahhar,' whose role is clear—to bring about Israel’s destruction."

Dutch MLB baseball player Jurickson Profar suspended 80 games for doping 1 hour agoin Sports
ATLANTA - Dutch international baseball player Jurickson Profar (32) has been suspended for eighty games because traces of a banned substance were found.
His club Atlanta Braves wrote in a statement that they were "very surprised and extremely disappointed" by the doping use. The suspension is effective immediately. "We hope that Jurickson will learn from this," the club said.
Profar tested positive for the pregnancy hormone (HCG), a banned substance according to Major League Baseball (MLB). HCG is a testosterone stimulant that is also on the doping list of doping authority WADA.
