Benjamin Netanyahu calls Turkey's Erdogan 'antisemitic dictator'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has branded Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an "antisemitic dictator" and pledged that Israel will continue to take strong action against Turkey's efforts to destabilize the region. This comes in the wake of Syria's accusations that Israel bombed an abandoned air base near Aleppo, a site reportedly visited by a Turkish military delegation.

Netanyahu's office stated that Erdogan is attempting to extend his aggression against Israel into Syria, and that Israel will not tolerate such actions. Meanwhile, Turkey denies any military presence at the base and vows to support Syrian sovereignty.
