(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday for the recent strike against the Hamas negotiating team in Qatar, stating, “Ideologically, Netanyahu is like a relative of Hitler.”

“Just as Hitler could not foresee the defeat that awaited him, Netanyahu will face the same ultimate fate,” Erdogan added while returning from Doha, where he attended an emergency Arab-Islamic summit following last week’s Israeli airstrike.

Erdogan described the assault on Hamas negotiators as “a blatant challenge to international order and international law,” and accused Israel’s leadership of transforming “their radical mindset into nothing more than a murderous network built on fascist ideology.”

Qatar, along with Egypt and the US, has been working as mediators to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where nearly 65,000 people have died since October 2023.
