Lapid slams Erdogan: We won't take lessons in morality from man with appalling human rights record

Tel Aviv, Nov 15 Israel's Opposition Leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday denounced Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after the latter said that Israel is a "terrorist state".

"We won't take lessons in morality from President Erdogan, a man with an appalling human rights record," Lapid wrote on X as quoted by The Times of Israel report.

"Israel is defending itself against brutal terrorists from Hamas-ISIS, some of whom have been allowed to operate under Erdogan's roof," he said.

Turkey has long served as a safe haven for senior leaders of Hamas.
