Erdoğan's warning to Netanyahu about "Syria": He will have no choice.

President Erdoğan addressed the cameras after the last Cabinet meeting of the year. Touching on important topics related to foreign policy, domestic politics, and the economy, Erdoğan harshly criticized Israel, which began its occupation following the overthrow of the regime in Syria.

ERDOĞAN: ISRAEL IS TRYING TO SHADOW THE REVOLUTION IN SYRIA

Erdoğan stated that Israel will eventually have to withdraw from the lands it has occupied, saying: "I believe that the neighbors of Syria have also recognized this important truth; a stable Syria is a source of stability and security for the entire region. We find the moderate messages given by the new administration very valuable and meaningful. It seems that behind Israel's increasing aggression is an attempt to overshadow the revolution in Syria and to suffocate the hopes of the Syrian people.

"THEY WILL HAVE TO WITHDRAW EVENTUALLY"

Israel will have to withdraw from the lands it has occupied sooner or later; it will be compelled to do so. The path taken by Netanyahu, who has the blood of 50,000 innocents on his hands, is not the right path. If there is any state wisdom in Israel, the sooner they realize this, the better it will be."

"WE ARE IN A POSITION TO READ THE PROCESS BEST"

Erdoğan stated: "With the collapse of the 61-year Baath regime, a brand new era has begun in Syria. As Syria's neighbor and brother, we are in a position to read, analyze, and scrutinize the new process best. From the very first moment of the Syrian crisis, we have always been on the right side of history. Today, we can look with dignity into the faces of hundreds of millions of our brothers whose eyes light up at the mention of not only the Syrian people but also Turkey. In this process, our heaviest test has been to stand against the despicable campaign during the May 14-28 elections. We have once again seen that the main issue is, above all, to win hearts.
