Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel takes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s rhetoric against the Jewish State “very seriously” and will draw US attention to it.

Axar.az informs, citing The Times of Israel, that Netanyahu made the remarks during the weekly cabinet meeting.

“Hardly a day goes by without Erdogan calling for the destruction of the State of Israel. We take those words very seriously, because if there is one thing we have learned from the history of our people, it is that when someone says they intend to destroy you, you should take them seriously,” the premier is quoted as saying.
