As Iran, Russia\u2019s war with Ukraine and NATO\u2019s defense spending dominate the organization’s summit in Ankara \u2014 one issue that has escaped the media glare is the increasingly antisemitic rhetoric<\/a> coming from Turkish leaders.<\/p>\n

As relations between Turkey and<\/a> Israel continue to hit new lows, a war of words between the two nations has erupted.<\/p>\n

In a July 2 interview with CNN T\u00fcrk, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that Israel has “become a burden that humanity can no longer bear,” the Jerusalem Post<\/a> reported. Fidan also said that Israel is representative of “humanity\u2019s common problems,” and asked other countries to apply pressure to the Jewish State, according to Israel National News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a press statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar called Fidan\u2019s words “a clear call for genocide. The Jewish people know very well what happens when such words are allowed to go unchallenged. The first step on the road to genocide is dehumanization.<\/p>\n

“This is a sentence that sounds very familiar to sentences from about 100 years ago,” Sa\u2019ar added. “To speak about a people as a \u2018problem for humanity.\u2019 What do you do with a \u2018burden that you can no longer bear?\u2019” he asked.<\/p>\n

Sinan Ciddi, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and director of FDD\u2019s Turkey program, told Fox News Digital that Fidan\u2019s statement was “some of the vilest rhetoric to come out of any statesman since the Holocaust<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Ciddi said that escalated anti-Israel rhetoric in Turkey “goes all the way back to 2008” when President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan “began the process of ripping apart the bilateral relationship between Israel and Turkey. But after Oct. 7, it just went into overdrive,” he said. “I have never heard any Arab leader utter the words that Foreign Minister Fidan has said.”<\/p>\n

Yet Erdogan has condemned antisemitism; the Turkish Minute<\/a> reported that he told Turkish religious minority representatives at an Ankara dinner in March that “just as Islamophobia is a crime against humanity, antisemitism is also a crime, an evil that cannot be considered reasonable or legitimate.”<\/p>\n

Yet despite his recent condemnation, he and other ministers have continued with their rhetoric against the Jewish state.<\/p>\n

In June, Turkish Interior Minister Mustafa \u0480ift\u0481i said that the world would “witness the liberation of Jerusalem,” according to the Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In May 2021, the Times of Israel reported that Erdo\u011fan called Israelis “murderers,” claiming they were ‘only satisfied by sucking their [victims\u2019] blood.” At the time, the State Department spokesperson<\/a> issued a strong condemnation<\/a> of Erdo\u011fan\u2019s “anti-Semitic comments regarding the Jewish people,” calling them “reprehensible.”<\/p>\n

In May 2025, Erdo\u011fan invoked similar language, accusing Israel<\/a> of being “a terror state that feeds on the blood, lives and tears of the innocent,” Israel National News reported.<\/p>\n

Anti-Israel sentiment in Turkey has infiltrated far beyond leadership. A Pew Research poll<\/a> from June found that Turkey had the highest level of anti-Israel sentiment of any polled country, with 91 percent of the population holding “very unfavorable” views on Israel, 6% holding an “unfavorable” view, and just 1% expressing any favor of Israel.<\/p>\n

In response to questions about whether the State Department plans to respond to antisemitic statements from Turkish leadership, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “T\u00fcrkiye is a longstanding and valued NATO Ally<\/a> and we continue to engage on all aspects of our important and multi-faceted relationship.”<\/p>\n

Ciddi said there are “numerous channels” for the State Department and Trump administration to reprimand Turkey for its unchecked hatred. “The president could obviously pull aside a Turkish counterpart and demand an apology,” he explained, while the State Department could address the comments or place Turkey on a watchlist.<\/p>\n

As the two-day NATO summit winds down<\/a> in Ankara, Ciddi said that Turkey “is going to try and overshadow anything else” and “promote itself as the sort of premiere NATO ally, so we need to watch out for Turkey\u2019s whitewashing of its human rights record.” Ciddi warned that “We cannot safeguard our allies\u2019 democratic norms, rights and practices if we don\u2019t hold member states like Turkey accountable for the threats that it presents.”<\/p>\n

The Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C. did not respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
