Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has raised the stakes in the ongoing conflict in Gaza by threatening military intervention in Israel. In a meeting with his party, Erdogan emphasized the need for Turkey to be strong in order to prevent what he described as Israel's mistreatment of Palestine. He drew parallels to Turkey's previous military involvements in Karabakh and Libya, suggesting that similar action could be taken against Israel.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded strongly to Erdogan's threats, likening him to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and warning of a similar fate. The exchange of heated rhetoric comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nations.
