Foreign Minister Israel Katz reacted sharply this afternoon to the comparison made by the Turkish president between the Holocaust of European Jews and the "massacre" he claimed were happening in the Gaza Strip.
"I strongly condemn Erdogan's anti-Semitic statement comparing the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis to Israeli acts in Gaza," Minister Katz said.
"Anyone who systematically violates human rights, is brutally persecuting the Kurds, and supporting the terrorist organization Hamas is the last one who can preach morality to Israel. Erdogan should be ashamed," He added.
