Israel Warns Erdogan: ‘You Will End Up Like Saddam Hussein’ After Turkey’s Invasion Threat
Meanwhile, opposition leader Yair Lapid has called on NATO members to “force” Erdogan to end his support for the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
“President Erdogan is ranting and raving again. He is a danger to the Middle East. The world, and especially NATO members, must strongly condemn his outrageous threats against Israel and force him to end his support for Hamas,” Lapid stated on X.

In 2003, the United States and its allies invaded Iraq under the pretext that Saddam Hussein possessed nuclear weapons, a claim that was later proven to be false.
After hiding for three years, Saddam was captured and executed in 2006. Since the invasion, it is estimated that over one million Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the US-led coalition’s actions.
The US military remains in Iraq under agreements with the government; however, many political parties and citizens view their presence as an occupying force due to ongoing interference in the country’s internal affairs and control over many of its resources, particularly energy.
