Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday branded Israel a “terror state” following the most intense Israeli airstrikes in Gaza since a fragile ceasefire took effect, Agence France-Presse reported.
“The Zionist regime has once again shown that it is a terror state that feeds on the blood, lives and tears of the innocent with its brutal attacks on Gaza last night,” Erdoğan said at a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner.
The airstrikes, by far the largest since a truce took effect in January, killed more than 400 people across the Gaza Strip, according to the health ministry in Gaza.
Erdoğan has been a fierce critic of Israel since the start of its military offensive on Gaza in October 2023.
He has vowed several times to make sure that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “brought to account” over the Israeli military campaign in the Palestinian territory.
