Ankara condemns Israeli FM Katz's slanderous remarks against Erdoğan

The Turkish government on Saturday condemned a recent social media post by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, calling it lies and slander targeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Türkiye.

In an official statement, Turkish authorities pointed out that Katz holds no real credibility, even within the Netanyahu government, which is infamously remembered for its crimes against humanity, leaving a dark stain on history.

The statement suggests that Katz is attempting to remain relevant by drawing the attention of social media users in Türkiye in a bid to secure his position within what it described as a "genocide network."

Türkiye reaffirmed its commitment to speaking the truth and defending the legitimate cause of the Palestinian people, despite such baseless attacks. The government emphasized that it will continue to stand firm in its support for Palestinian rights and justice.
