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.

Tayyip “the mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the faithful our soldiers” Erdogan.
Maybe NATO should kick Turkey out.
Might better be said Jesus is coming for us perhaps sooner than we think.
Good to remember....”only the beginning of birth pains; the end is still to come.”
“Time for new leadership in Israel, imo.”
No. Leadership in Israel is the best it has ever been, imo.
Time for new leadership in Turkey. And Iran. And China. And Korea. And in various other leftist and totalitarian nations that are hellbent on committing evil, death and destruction.
Time for an end to all who support such evil nations and leaders, also.
NATO wouldn’t do sht. No NATO country would respond to an article 5 invocation if Turkey mobilised against Israel and then got attacked. Especially the US. They would be warned publicly to stand down or face the consequences alone.
I heard in prayer today:
The head of the turkey will be beheaded.
I thought about what I knew about Turkey, and associated with it, and Erdogan came to mind:
The error of Dan.
I Googled and saw the news of the threat. Interesting, and God still speaks.
LOL
wrong
you think everyone else must change LOL
Bibi needs to go
“Bibi needs to go”
Not happenin. But hey... keep dreaming. We’ll wake you when it’s “over”.
Just remember FReepers when you buy Turkish ammo and firearms you are supporting this lunatic and his arms industry.
Is Toyota still selling a small SUV made there?
“The Turkish Air Force is tough and well equipped.”
They might be tough, that mostly depends on training.
In relative terms, they are NOT well equipped.
They have about 230 F-16s of various vintages...but only a couple of dozen Block 50. And they still fly F-4 Phantoms occasionally.
Israel could shoot down all of them with their 40 F-35s. Not to mention over 60 F-15s. And 175 F-16s.
It would not be close and it would not last very long.
And the idea of moving equipment without air dominance...is naive at best.
No contest.
Stop sending them food
Problem solved
Net importer
God bless you, too.
What say we vote Turkey off the NATO island?
************************************************
We ought to throw their asses off the island of Cyprus.
I’m sure the Greeks will come to Turkey’s defense. /s
Beelzebama once described Erdogan as his best friend in the Middle East!
Erdogan thinks he’s Suleyman The Magnificent. Israel would disabuse him of that delusion quickly.
