Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has canceled his planned visit to Israel against the background of the war between Israel and Gaza’s Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist organization.
“We had a project to go to Israel, but it was canceled – we will not go,” he told a gathering of his AK Party faction in parliament, condemning Israel for its “inhumane” war against Hamas terrorists who invaded more than two dozen Jewish villages on October 7 and slaughtered many of the residents.
“The West owes you a lot. But Turkey does not owe you anything,” Erdogan said in remarks aimed at Israel, adding that the terrorists are simply freedom fighters.
“Hamas is not a terrorist organization,” Erdogan insisted. “It is a group of mujahideen (holy warriors) defending their lands.”
In response, Israel’s Foreign Ministry slammed the Turkish president’s words.
“Israel wholeheartedly rejects the Turkish President’s harsh words about the terrorist organization Hamas,” said ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat.
“Hamas is a despicable terrorist organization worse than ISIS that brutally and intentionally murders babies, children, women, and the elderly, takes civilians hostage and uses its own people as human shields,” he said.
“Even the Turkish president’s attempt to defend the terrorist organization and his inciting words will not change the horrors that the whole world has seen and the unequivocal fact: Hamas = ISIS.”
“The father, with one eye taken out. The mother, they cut one of her breasts. The 7 year-old boy, they cut off several of his fingers. The little girl, they chopped off her foot. And after all that, the terrorists sat at a table with food and ate.”

"The meeting was organized by Ezra Friedlander and his Friedlander Consulting Group, a lobbying organization that works largely with Orthodox Jewish groups but also counts the Turkish government among its clients. Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Friedlander registered in 2022 that he works on behalf of the Turkish government.
According to OpenSecrets, an NGO which tracks spending on U.S. lobbyists, the Friedlander group has received at least $70,000 from the Turkish government this year."
That was last year. Wonder how much since then.
According to this later filing, it seems Friedlander got over $200,000 from Turkey.
