"Netanyahu Like Hitler:" Erdogan sounds alarm at OIC summit
Erdogan said at the 51st meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Foreign Ministers' Council in Istanbul that Israel's recent military activities in the area, including in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, are "piracy" and are supported by the West. He said that Netanyahu's Zionist plans, like Hitler's did 90 years ago, threaten not only regional but also world security.
Erdogan said that Israel was taking advantage of the fact that the Islamic world is divided, and he asked OIC member states to work together to expose and fight Israeli violence. He warned against changes to the region that were like the Sykes-Picot deal and said that Turkey would not allow them to happen.
The president of Turkey also said that Israel was attacking Iran on purpose while nuclear talks with the US were still going on. He called the strikes a planned attempt to stop diplomatic talks.
In a separate statement, Hakan Fidan, the foreign minister of Turkey, said that Israel was making the area a "total catastrophe." He didn't believe that the problem was limited to a few countries. Instead, he said it was caused by Israeli violence.
Fidan demanded that what he called "unlimited violence" against Iran stop right away and asked Muslim countries to stop any further worsening that could threaten both regional and global safety.
The high-level OIC meeting is being held in Istanbul, and people from 57 member states and several foreign groups are there. The goal of the two-day meeting is to deal with rising tensions in the Middle East and come up with a coordinated answer to the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Tom added, "As the humanitarian community, we demand -- again -- that those with power and influence act for humanity, protect civilians and aid workers and hold perpetrators to account." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Netanyahu claims success in preventing Palestinian state "despite pressure"
During a visit to the West Bank settlement of Ofra to mark its 50th anniversary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that he has fulfilled his long-standing promise to block the establishment of a Palestinian state. Recalling a visit to the settlement 25 years ago, Netanyahu said, 'We would do everything to ensure our continued hold on the Land of Israel, to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, to thwart the attempts that existed then, and unfortunately still exist, to try to uproot us from here. Thank God, what I promised, we kept.' Netanyahu emphasized the pressures 'Israel' faced over the years, noting, 'Pressures from home, pressures from abroad, a series of American presidents who wanted to uproot us and to establish a Palestinian state here. We stood firm together. We upheld the promise of the generations.'
