Israel, in addition to Iran, now places both Turkey and Russia in the "Axis of Evil" in the Middle East. After what RT Erdogan said, it is obvious that not only is there no turning back in the relations between the two countries, but a new escalation is very close.
The same applies to Israel-Russia relations after the two harsh announcements by the Israeli Foreign Ministry against Moscow.
Israel's Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is calling for a reassessment of diplomatic relations with Turkey, citing Turkish leaders' "harsh" criticism of Israel's military offensive against Hamas.
Cohen said he had ordered Israeli diplomats in Turkey to return to Israel.
Last week, he recalled his diplomats from the country as he also called on Israeli citizens to leave because of terrorist threats, making it clear that it had nothing to do with bilateral relations.
Earlier at the weekend, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, at a large pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul, launched a scathing attack on Israel and its Western allies.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended one of the largest pro-Palestinian demonstrations since the start of the war with Israel in Istanbul.
What Erdogan said today from Istanbul creates a new deep gap in his relations with the West, the US, the EU and Israel, to a point where there is no "return".
He called Israel a "terrorist organization" and strongly accused it of massacring civilians in Gaza.
He stated that behind the state of Israel, as well as all the terrorist organizations operating in the region, is the USA.
As he characteristically said, the West is primarily responsible for the massacres in the Gaza Strip.
"Israel is an occupier, a war criminal. And sooner or later he will pay a heavy price for what he is doing," Erdogan concluded, speaking to thousands of people in Istanbul.
"Today, some people see Gaza as a distant place that has nothing to do with us, and they even say so openly. Yet a century ago, Gaza was to this nation what Adana was to this country.
Like Mosul is what Mardin is, Thessaloniki is like Kirklareli and Aleppo is what Gaziantep is, Gaza was an integral part of our homeland that we thought was inseparable.
But unfortunately they separated us from all these lands that belong to us as much as our blood, our life, our love".
As I have said before, Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Netanyahu is a terrorist. And I feel sorry for those who don't know what Hamas really is."
"We are not only calling for the massacre in Gaza. But we are defending our independence and our future. What was Palestine and Gaza in 1947 and what is it today? How did Israel come about? How did it get in? It's an invader, it's an organization."
West, I call to you, do you want to start a crescent-crusader fight again? If you are trying to do something like that, know that this nation is not dead. This nation stands tall. With the same determination from the Middle East to Libya and Karabakh."
"The West is most responsible for the carnage in Gaza. Everyone knows that Israel is just a pawn in the region that will be sacrificed when the day comes. The real players in the game being played in the region are those who look after the spoils of the Israeli administration.
Because Israel cannot take a step without them. Even if he tries, he can't even last three days and he'll collapse."
"Israel has been openly committing war crimes for exactly 22 days.
Now, Israel, we will declare you a war criminal to the world. Now we are preparing for it, we are working on it and we will present Israel to the world as a war criminal,"Erdogan concluded.
