Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of committing genocide against the Kurds and sending political opponents to prison.

"Erdogan, the dictator who sends tens of thousands of political opponents to prison, commits genocide against the Kurds, and occupies Northern Cyprus, preaches to me, to Israel, and to the Israel Defense Forces, about democracy and the ethics of war. A joke. 

It’s best that he doesn’t get involved with Jerusalem, our capital for 3,000 years. Erdogan can only learn from us how to respect every religion and protect human rights," the Israeli PM tweeted.
