"We, as Muslims, will not take a single step back from our rights over East Jerusalem," said the president, describing the Israeli PM as "Hitler wannabe."

The Israeli prime minister's remarks drew a strong response from the spokesperson of Erdoğan's ruling party, who accused Netanyahu of attempting to claim a shared religious and historical site as personal property.

The spokesperson for Erdoğan's ruling AKP likened the Israeli defense minister to Hitler's foreign minister, after he compared Erdoğan to Saddam Hussein.

The president has both criticized Netanyahu’s speech in the US Congress and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for rejecting their invitation to speak in Turkey’s parliament.

Responding to President Erdoğan’s statements, Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu has said, “He who doesn't stop lying about Israel, slaughters the Kurds and denies the terrible slaughter of the Armenian people shouldn't preach to Israel”.

Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu has responded to Erdoğan: "I am not used to receiving lectures about morality from a leader who bombs Kurdish villagers in his native Turkey, who jails journalists, who helps Iran get around international sanctions”.
