Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan asserted, "Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is no different from Adolf Hitler," condemning Israel's actions in Gaza. Erdogan extended support, stating, "Turkey is ready to welcome academics and scientists facing persecution for their views on the conflict." Earlier, he vehemently opposed plans for a post-war buffer zone in Gaza, emphasizing, "Gaza's future will be decided by Palestinians alone." Erdogan criticized the debate on the buffer zone as disrespectful to Palestinians, urging Israel to remove "terrorists marketed as settlers" and focus on building "a peaceful future with Palestinians." The intensified Israeli offensive resulted in casualties, adding to the toll of over 20,900 Palestinian lives lost.
