The Telegraph deletes story falsely claiming Erdogan threatened to invade Israel
The Daily Telegraph has deleted a false story headlined "Erdogan threatens to invade Israel" which appears to have been based on statements the Turkish president made two years ago, taken out of context.
The British newspaper reported in a news article on Sunday that Erdogan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu of being "blinded by blood and hate" over Israel's bombing of southern Lebanon.
The Telegraph said that Erdogan warned Turkey could act militarily "just as we entered Libya and Karabakh" and that there was "nothing to prevent us doing it".
The newspaper further reported that Erdogan said there was "no reason" not to attack.
In reality the quotes came from
remarks Erdogan made in July 2024 in a local meeting of the ruling AK Party in the Turkish coastal city of Rize.
THE SAME FALSE NEWS APPEARS IN GERMAN MEDIA in FOCUS ONLINE, MSN etc.....NOT TRANSLATING AS IT STATES THE ABOVE.
Bei weiteren Angriffen: Erdogan droht Israel mit Invasion
Das berichtet unter anderem die britische Tageszeitung "The Telegraph". Demnach warf
Erdogan Netanjahu vor, "von Blut und Hass geblendet" zu sein. Er sagte: "Hätte Pakistan nicht im
Krieg zwischen den USA und dem Iran vermittelt, hätten wir Israel seinen Platz gezeigt … Genauso wie wir in Libyen und Karabach einmarschiert sind, können wir auch in Israel einmarschieren. Es gibt keinen Grund, dies nicht zu tun."
