Israel formally described Erdogan's statement on Gaza as "unacceptable" and certain Israeli media outlets have raised the stakes. The Jerusalem Post journal compared the terrorists killed by Turkish Armed Forces in Northern Iraq and the children that Israeli Army bombed in Gaza and wrote, "we're not convinced that Turkey has earned the right to lecture Israelis about human rights."
Israel's deputy foreign minister was even more pointed, "Erdogan says that genocide is taking place in Gaza. We [Israel] will then recognize the Armenian-related events as genocide." Member of Knesset Zeev Elkin said, "Ankara's position has proved inevitability of the "Armenian genocide" recognition. As to a Knesset resolution, the new parliament will start work on February 24 and Likud party stands a good chance to head it"
Turkey has condemned the Cast Lead operation Israel launched in Gaza. Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan called to ban Israel from the UN.
