Turkish politician and researcher Bekir Atacan declared in a television interview that the Middle East will become the “graveyard of the Jews and the Americans,” claiming that regional populations will no longer allow the United States and Israel to live in the region.
Speaking on Al-Mashhad TV, Atacan said that the “games and lies” of the US and Israel would soon come to an end and referred to both countries as “traitors.” He also claimed that people across the region have “woken up” and will prevent American and Israeli presence in the Middle East.
During the interview, Atacan went even further, stating that killing Jews and Americans and removing them from the region is “permissible.” Atacan is affiliated with President Erdogan’s political movement and previously sparked international controversy after publicly calling for the killing of Kurds in Syria, remarks that led to his removal from the BBC after appearing as a commentator.
