Erdogan: Netanyahu will make us miss Hitler
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is attacking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians in Gaza to the Nazis' treatment of Jews during World War II, Reuters reports.
- People used to talk badly about Hitler. But what difference is there? They will make us miss Hitler, says the Turkish president about Netanyahu.
He goes on to say that Netanyahu has greater assets than Nazi Germany and he points out that the country has the support of the West.
- And what do they do with all the support? They kill 20,000 residents of Gaza, he says.
In a response to the verbal attack, Netanyahu says that Erdogan is the "last person to talk about morality".
"He is committing genocide against Kurds and has the world record for imprisoning journalists who oppose him," writes the Israeli prime minister on X.

Israeli singer and soldier dead - competed for place in ESC
The Israeli singer and soldier Shaul Greenglick, who had a chance to represent Israel in the Eurovision song contest, has been killed in fighting in Gaza, writes Reuters.
At the beginning of December, Greenglick participated in the program "Israel's rising star", which can be compared to the Swedish Melodifestivalen, where he was highly praised by the judges and went on to the next round.
The 26-year-old sang a ballad wearing military clothes and took part in the competition while on leave from the IDF.
The program has subsequently announced that Greenglick dropped out of the program due to the war in Gaza.
The IDF announces that Greenglick was killed in combat in northern Gaza on Tuesday.

UN: Civilians are moved around on a human chessboard
Many Palestinians who have followed evacuation orders from the Israeli military then realize that they cannot fit in the areas designated as safe. This is what Gemma Connell, who leads a group of UN aid workers in Gaza, told Reuters.
- It feels like people are being moved around on a human chessboard when an evacuation order comes.
For the news agency, Gemma Connell shows a text message that the Israeli military sent on Friday. In it, the IDF urges residents of central Gaza to seek refuge in Deir al-Balah.
On the night of Monday, Deir al-Balah was subjected to Israeli attacks and a nine-year-old boy was killed.
- He was not in an area that was to be evacuated, he was in a place that was supposed to be safe. There are no safe places in Gaza, says Gemma Connell.

Israel condemns Erdogan's attack: "Deeply offensive"
Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's comparison of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler earlier on Wednesday was strongly condemned
by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
"In all of human history, the Holocaust stands alone in its horror and enormous scope. His
words are deeply offensive to every Jew around the world and to the
memory of the millions of Jews who were killed by the Nazis," he writes
in a longer post on X.
Erdogan said Netanyahu is carrying out a genocide in Gaza and that he "will make us miss Hitler". Herzog writes that there is no war that is "more justified than the one against the terrorist organization Hamas".
