The Jerusalem Post reports: “Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for the destruction of Israel at the Turkish Eid al-Fitr (festival ending Ramadan) prayer on Sunday, with Turkey’s state-run news agency Anadolu quoting the president as saying, ‘May Allah damn Zionist Israel.’

Erdogan spoke at the Grand Camlica Mosque in Istanbul, along with Islamic scholar Ali Erbas, who delivered a religious sermon.

During his speech, Erdogan stated, ‘We all know what is happening in Palestine’ and referred to Allah as ‘al-Qahhar’ – one of Allah’s 99 Quranic names, which could be translated as ‘The dominator who prevails over all creation’ – when asking for Zionism and Israel to be destroyed, Anadolu said.

Erdogan also wished ‘mercy upon the martyrs’ and a ‘speedy recovery to the veterans,’ referring to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and Gaza civilians who were killed and wounded since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War…”
