Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday blasted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his support of Lebanon. 

"[Erdogan]announced his support for Hezbollah against Israel's threats. Erdogan is a war criminal who slaughters innocent Kurds across the Syrian border and tries to deny Israel its right to self-defense against a terror organization attacking from Lebanon under Iran's orders," Katz wrote on X, following Erdogan's statement in the Turkish parliament, adding, "Be quiet and shame on you!"
