Turkish president issues threat over new government’s plans to apply sovereignty, calls Jerusalem a ‘red line’ for world’s Muslims

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened Israel over its new government’s plan to annex portions of the West Bank.

“We are witnessing a new plan of occupation and annexation by Israel that threatens Palestinian sovereignty and is contrary to international law,” Erdogan said in a video address late Sunday for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. “We won’t allow the transfer of Palestinian land to anyone.”

“Turkey is the only voice defending the Palestinians today,” Erdogan said in a televised address. “The world order has let down the Palestinians, and has not successfully brought peace, justice, security and order to this part of the world.”

Apparently, Erdogan is looking to have his ass kicked.

I think Ezekiel had something to say about Israel not needing their weaponry when attacked by Turkey, Syria, Iran, Libya, Russia and Ethiopia.

Turkey also needs to return Western Armenia to Armenia.

Who going to stop whom? Greece? Turkey? Libya? Russia? Anybody I missed? If you're going to be lazy and not quote the original statement you're replying to you may as well not bother because you're just wasting time.

Israel will summon the Sun to the surface of the earth. Otherwise known as the face of God in some religious texts. We call them thermonuclear weapons and they were given the plans from us via France in the 1960s.

Netanyahu met with leaders of the Knesset today and they decided the annexation would be done by July 1.

When Erdogan came to power he purged the professionals from the leadership of the Turkish military and alienated the rank and file. Turkey is no longer the military power it once was.

Turkey won’t “allow” it? And just what can they do to stop it? They don’t share a border.

Partner, I would say "Who in the world is Turkey!!!

Turkey got control of parts of Greece and Syria to make up what is Turkey right now. We in the U.S.A. took in a lot of these folks from Turkey. I am glad that we did.

Turkey also had an Armenian Holocaust where almost 2 Million Armenians were unarmed and murdered by the Turkish authorities.

I will say it again "Who in the world is Turkey!!!

I don’t think Ezekiel knew about modern weapons.

I’m well aware of what Turkey has done. But I’m quite confident that Israel is very capable of defending itself.

We have to get out if Incilrik , and wherever else we are in Turkey . It’s an albatross around our neck . Hopefull we are not stupid enough to still be storing any nukes there. They should have been gone long ago. Right after those shiheads denied 4thID access across to hit Saddam’s rear .

Netanyahu met with the leaders of the Knesset yesterday and they all agreed that the annexation will be formally done by this July 1.
..........
They rightly understand that legalities, no matter how clever, only mean endless haggling and conflict, generational war.
............
President Trump is the only American leader that can ever guarantee the outcome. His job is up for grabs in 5 months.
...........
The desire for a better peace, Israel’s military might, the mostly static threat on the Syrian border, and Trump’s support bring this moment in history into play.
...........
It will not come again.
