Erdogan threatens Israel: 'Like we entered Karabakh and Libya - we will do the same to Israel'

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made statements against Israel and even threatened to invade Israeli territory, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

"Just as we entered Karabakh and Libya, we will do the same to Israel," Erdogan said during a party meeting, referring to the Nagorno-Karabagh dispute and Libya, which have had Turkish troops.

Erdogan’s threats come amid a dramatic flare-up in the nine-month cross-border war between the IDF and Hezbollah. A Hezbollah-launched Iranian rocket landed in the Druze village of Majdal Sham in the Golan Heights on Saturday, killing 12 children.

ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.

"We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize.

"There is no reason why we cannot do this ... We must be strong so that we can take these steps," Erdogan added in the televised address.
