Turkey Recalls Ambassador To Israel, Holds 'Baby Butcher' Bibi Netanyahu Personally Responsible For Gaza Atrocities

Large-scale protest erupts outside major US airbase in southern Turkey...

By Tyler Durden: Turkey on Saturday announced the recalling of its ambassador to Israel, and the temporary breaking off of contacts with the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in response to the soaring death toll in Gaza due to the Jews' aerial and ground attacks.

The Jews ultra racist apartheid regime Israel had already begun recalling some of its diplomats from Turkey exactly one week prior, after President Erdogan said the Jews have been "openly committing war crimes". Turkey's foreign ministry has newly announced that its ambassador is being recalled "in view of the unfolding humanitarian tragedy in Gaza caused by the continuing attacks by Israel against civilians, and Israel's refusal (to accept) a ceasefire".

As usual the genocidal Jewish apartheid regime Israel's foreign ministry shot back with some classic hasbara shaming tactics, calling the move "another step by the Turkish president that sides with the Hamas terrorist organization." Given that we all know now that it was the Jewish Green Shirts who did the slaughtering of their own people on the October the 7th while the brave heroic Hamas freedom fighters acted like gentlemen towards hostages, the Jews shaming tactics have not only completely lost their sting, but they have become a badge of honour.

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 9,500 - and Turkey earlier said it is seeking to present a war crimes case against Israel before the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC). But Saturday saw Erdogan escalate his rhetoric further, stressing he's holding Netanyahu personally responsible for the atrocities in the West Bank. 

"Netanyahu is no longer someone we can talk to. We have written him off," Turkish media quoted him as saying; however, Erdogan also said, "Completely severing ties is not possible, especially in international diplomacy."

Prior to Oct.7 the two countries had been working hard to mend and deepen relations. Historically, the Palestinian issues has been a sharp dividing line, but there were reports that progress in ties had been made. 

Erdogan in an unprecedented personal critique of Netanyahu has said the Israeli prime minister has "lost the support of his own citizens." He emphasized of Netanyahu further, "What he needs to do is take a step back and stop this."

One week ago at a huge Gaza solidarity rally in Istanbul, Erdogan had told a crowd of hundreds of thousands, "Israel, we will also declare you as a war criminal to the world, we are preparing for it, and we will introduce Israel to the world as a war criminal," according to a state broadcaster.

"Israel is committing war crimes" as an "occupier," he said at the time, and added: the "West owes you, but Türkiye does not owe you." At the same time Erdogan has been on record as calling Hamas a "liberation group" and not terrorists. It's certainly all the more an interesting stance given Turkey is in NATO.
