Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz called Turkish President Recep Erdogan a "paper sultan" after the latter's "antisemitic" UNGA speech. "He has signed a 'Mecca agreement' to defend Saudi Arabia, but when the Houthis fire missiles toward the city of Mecca...he simply disappears," Katz said. "The man who embraces and funds the Hamas murderers and rapists," Katz further said about Erdogan.
