Though he did not specify what kind of intervention he was proposing, President Tayyip Erdogan stated on Sunday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in both Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Erdogan, a vocal opponent of Israel's Gaza offensive, brought up the subject of that conflict in a speech honoring his nation's defense sector.
"We have to be very strong to stop Israel from doing these ridiculous things to Palestine.
Erdogan said at a gathering of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize, "We might do similar to them just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya."
"There's no reason this can't be done... In the televised speech, Erdogan continued, "We must be strong in order to take these actions.
Representatives of the AK Party did not return calls seeking further information about Erdogan's remarks. Israel refrained from commenting at the time.
The president seemed to be making reference to previous acts taken by Turkey.
Turkey dispatched military personnel to Libya in 2020 to assist the Government of National Accord of Libya, which was acknowledged by the UN.
Turkey supports Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, who is in charge of the Government of National Unity in Tripoli.
"There's no reason this can't be done... In the televised speech, Erdogan continued, "We must be strong in order to take these actions.
Although Turkey has denied having any direct involvement in Azerbaijan's military operations in Nagorno-Karabakh, it did declare last year that it was supporting its close ally by employing "all means," including modernization and military training.
