Israeli President Isaac Herzog responded to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks comparing Israel to the Nazis:
"I strongly condemn and utterly reject the words of Turkish President Erdogan.
In all of human history, the Holocaust stands alone in its horror and enormity, and his words are deeply offensive to every Jew around the world and to the memory of the millions of Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis.
The command 'Never Again' remains an imperative for the State of Israel - the nation-state of the Jewish people - which is committed to the safety and protection of every Jew.
There is no struggle more just than the war against the terrorist organization Hamas, which brutally and barbarically murdered Jews, as well as Muslims, and those of other faiths and nationalities."
