Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday vowed that Israel would pay a price for the "genocide" in Gaza as he marked the first anniversary of the war in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) -Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday Islamic countries should form an alliance against what he called "the growing threat of expansionism" from Israel, drawing a rebuke from the Israeli foreign minister.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has raised the possibility that Turkey could enter Israel in support of the Palestinians, a significant step-up in his harsh words toward the Jewish state over the Gaza war.
