Turkey President Issues Warning to Israel of Stiffer Response For its ground invasion of Lebanon

Turkey President, Recep Erdogan.

Recep Erdogan, the president of Turkey has issued a stern warning against Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon which began last month.

President Erdogan said that the consequences of Israel’s invasion of Lebanon would be severely different from what happened in the invasion of Gaza and the West Bank. 

While making this statement at the reopening of Turkey’s parliament after the summer recess, he said 

“The consequences of a ground operation in Lebanon will not be similar to (Israel’s) past occupations.” 

He added that “Driven by the delusion of ‘promised land’, after Palestine and Lebanon, the Israeli government will set its sights on our (Turkish) homeland,”.

He highlighted that the Israeli actions in the region is a deliberate act of state terrorism that is being supported by the western states which would have dire consequences for the entire region and the world at large. 

Erdogan pressed the Israeli conquest of invading and occupying neighboring countries in the Middle East as a way of trying to secure their Biblical claims which he pointed out that after Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon, the next target would be Turkey.

He further stated that “Occupation, terror and aggression are right next to us. We’re not facing a state bound by law, but a horde of killers that thrives on blood and feeds off Occupation.”

He urged the Turkish parliament to see the threats of Israel as a sign of disarraying the region and taking over the region as a whole and he firmly believes that an action is necessary to halt the Israeli occupation and aggression against other middle eastern countries.
