Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar accused his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, of spreading “lies and blood libels” against Israel. This accusation followed Fidan's remarks in Istanbul, where he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “criminal” who “takes pleasure in shedding Palestinian blood and Muslim blood” and urged that he “must now be stopped.” Sa’ar countered that the Turkish regime supports Hamas and engages in actions like invading other countries and suppressing opposition, using “the oldest trick in the antisemitic playbook: making false accusations against Jews and the Jewish state” to divert attention. This exchange is the latest in an escalating war of words, with Turkey previously branding Zionism a “genocidal ideology” and Israel accusing Turkey of antisemitic incitement.
