Israel will 'set its sights on Anatolia' if not stopped in Gaza: Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Israel would not stop at Gaza, Ramallah, and would go as far as Anatolia if it is not stopped.

"Do not think that Israel will stop in Gaza, do not think that Ramallah will be safe and that fierce state will sooner or later set its sights on Anatolia with the delusion of the promised land if this terrorist state is not stopped," he said during his party's group meeting on Wednesday.

"There are people who are disturbed when I compare Hamas to the National Forces," he added, referring to Turkey's revolutionary forces during the Turkish War of Independence. "Why are you disturbed? Those who call Hamas a terrorist organisation today, believe me, even if it were a century ago, they would also call the National Forces a terrorist organisation."
