Netanyahu accuses Erdogan of illegally occupying northern Cyprus during UN speech
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of illegally occupying northern Cyprus during his address at the United Nations General Assembly. Netanyahu also criticized Erdogan for hosting Hamas leaders, committing atrocities against Kurdish civilians, denying the Armenian genocide, and suppressing opposition in Turkey.
Netanyahu condemned Erdogan's actions against Greece and Cyprus, both EU and NATO members, and warned of Erdogan's ambitions in Syria and Jerusalem. The Israeli leader condemned the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, describing it as "the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust," and praised Israeli forces for their resilience in the ongoing seven-front conflict involving Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and other militias.
He highlighted Israel’s cooperation with the United States in countering threats from Iran and regional terrorist groups, while addressing allegations of "settler violence" in the West Bank, which he said were grossly exaggerated. Netanyahu also attacked New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of anti-Semitism and supporting Hamas sympathizers, and insisted Israel acted to prevent genocide rather than commit it.
