Turkey accused Israel of threatening Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after he threatened to intervene in Gaza.
Taking to X, Turkey's head of communications, Fahrettin Altin, said anyone who threatens Erdogan does so "at their own peril."
Erdogan on Sunday told ruling party officials in televised remarks that: "Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them [Israel]."
The Turkish President did not clarify what he meant by his comments, but they drew Israeli officials' ire.
Israel's Foreign Minister Mike Katz said Erdogan "follows in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein and threatens to attack Israel."
