ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.
Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza, started discussing that war during a speech praising his country's defence industry.
"We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize.
"There is no reason why we cannot do this ... We must be strong so that we can take these steps," Erdogan added in the televised address.
AK Party representatives did not respond to calls asking for more detail on Erdogan's comments. Israel did not immediately make any comment.
The president appeared to be referring to past actions by Turkey.

“Is it did” was supposed to be
“If it did”
In case you missed it, Turkey is a member of NATO.
NATO will be fighting Israel. This should warm the hearts of the Neo Cons.
Perhaps it’s Turkey that needs new leadership. Turkey needs to be booted out of NATO at the very least.
What do you have in mind? ...surrender?

Ezekiel 38 is coming.
We’ve been expecting it for some time.
Keep an eye on Libya (Put or Phut)
They will join in the foray.
(noun
a sudden attack or incursion into enemy territory, especially to obtain something; a raid.)
“Art thou come to take a spoil?”
Some believe that this can only happen when Israel has been lured into a false sense of peace.
Time will tell.
Turkey acting up is certainly not a coincidence nor a surprise in these Last Days.
I’m well aware of that
Yes it’s extraordinarily a concern
But Ezekiel 38 will definitely occur.
It has been foretold.
Correct

If the Turks take any aggressive action in Israel it will be their last such action. Read the Bible Erdoğan rather than the koran.
No, article 5 is only in play if a member is attacked. If Israel was attacked don’t we have defense agreements in place? We might have to respond and come to Israel’s defense.
(Unless of course the Democrats have the WH. Agreements, treaties, pledges and even just their word means nothing to them.)
Tayyip Erdogan won’t say it but Hamas folks are way too radical for Turkey. Basically, they’re like ISIS. They’ll have to conquer Turkey if somehow they were “invited” to live in the country.
Good solution, but highly unlikely...
Tough to find a more nationalistic nation than Turkey.
A truly cursory and superficial statement. An opinion born of an ignorant rational and mindless speculation.
Shooting off his mouth without thinking it through.
such a stupid, evil person should never have been allowed into the Turkish government
he’s already tried to provoke a nuclear war in the region several times
one of these days, he will succeed in getting Turkey sent straight back to the stone age
(unfortunately, taking any good decent Turkish people with him)
Erdogan has transitioned Turkey from a secular Democracy into an Islamic dictatorship. Perhaps the most evil and dangerous man alive today.
Including Erdogan. Hey, bozo erdogan See: Iran’s Raisi, and his Foreign Minister. Bang- zoom!
Goodbye, Istanbul.
Israel has been fighting with its nuclear arms tied behind its back. But they will do what it takes.
