The upcoming visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Berlin continues to provoke reactions inside Germany.
The president of the Jewish Cultural Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria, Charlotte Knobloch, criticized the German government’s invitation, calling it a “mistake”.
“I think it is absolutely wrong to offer him a platform in Germany, especially at a time when Israel is under threat,” Ms. Knobloch told the Tagesspiegel newspaper, stressing that Turkey “was an important ally of the West, but now it is moving away from her”. I suspect, she said, that “Turkey is now siding with Iran.”
The Turkish president is expected to visit Berlin on November 17 and 18in the shadow of his recent statements about Israel’s “war crimes” being “covered up” by the West and about the “genocide of the Jews” in the Gaza Strip.
In the same spirit, Mr. Erdogan expressed the view that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but a liberation group who fights to protect the country and its citizens.
