“We will tell the whole world that Israel is a war criminal. We are preparing for this. We will declare Israel a war criminal,” said Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdoğan during the “Great Palestinian Rally” that took place in Istanbul on October 28, exactly three weeks after Hamas murdered over 1400 Israeli and other citizens, including women and children, and kidnapped 240. Earlier, Erdoğan had claimed that Hamas was not a terrorist organization, but a liberation group.
