Erdogan threatens Israel: 'Like we entered Karabakh and Libya - we will do the same to Israel'
[JPost] Smack-talk from a bankrupt pretend caliphate
Jerusalem and Ankara traded sharp barbs on Sunday, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeming to threaten military action against Israel on Sundays as tensions heated up between the Jewish state and the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah.

Israel in turn warned that his fate could become akin to that of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, who was executed by hanging.

“Erdogan is following in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein by threatening to attack Israel. He should remember what happened there and how it ended,’ Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in which he linked a photograph of the two men.

#2 Regarding Libya, Turkey finances a mercenary force in that country made up mostly of displaced Syrians, including many children.

#3 As I recall, Lord Garth, Libya has been handing over their gold reserves to Turkey to “hire” that force.

#5 Considering the performance of Turkish forces in northern Iraq, I would advise them not to try. Israel will light their asses up.

#7 President Erdogan, Turkey Has A Historical Right To Militarily Intervene, Palestine Was Under Turkish Control For 400 Years (1517-1917) During The Ottoman Empire, However Before The Zionists Colonists Could Claim Palestine To Establish A State Of Israel They First Had To Remove All Remnants Of Turkish Control. There Are Many Articles/Documentaries That Detail How The British/Zionists Covertly Achieved Their Plan To Establish The State of Israel After Seizing Palestine, Eg (Balfour Agreement)

#8 Turkey chose the losing side in World War I, so they would have lost their empire even if it weren’t already crumbling around them. Had the allies not divided the Turkish rump state from the rest of the empire, Ataturk would never have been able to establish a modern republic, one which has lasted a century, though probably not much longer.
