Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday vowed that “Israel” would pay a price for the "genocide" in Gaza as he marked the first anniversary of the war on Oct. 7th.

 

"It should not be forgotten that Israel will sooner or later pay the price for this genocide that it has been carrying out for a year and is still continuing," he said on X.

 

A vocal advocate of the Palestinian cause, including Hamas, Erdogan has often attacked “Israel”, branding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the "butcher of Gaza" and comparing him to Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler.

 

"Just as Hitler was stopped by an alliance of humanity, Netanyahu and his murder network will be stopped in the same way," Erdogan said.

 

"A world in which no account is held for the Gaza genocide will never find peace."

 

“Israel's long-standing policy of genocide, occupation and invasion must now come to an end,” he added.
