Opposition Leader Yair Lapid responded today (Sunday) to Turkish President Recep Erdogan's threat to invade Israel if it did not end the war in Gaza.

In a post he wrote on X, Lapid said that "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. We won’t accept threats from a wannabe dictator."

Erdogan had said earlier today that Turkey can also invade Israel "just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya," if Israel does not stop the war in the Gaza Strip.
