Israeli FM says Erdogan is ‘following Saddam Hussein’s footsteps’

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is “following Saddam Hussein's footsteps and threatens to attack Israel”.

His remarks come after Erdogan said: "just as we went into Karabakh, as we went into Libya, we'll do the same to them".

Katz said Erdogan should "remember what happened there and how it ended".
