Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution condemns Turkish President Erdogan and his government for statements and actions regarding Israel and the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks that House members view as destabilizing and dangerous. The resolution details accusations that Erdogan has made inflammatory remarks equating Israeli actions to genocide and Hitler, called Hamas a liberation group rather than a terrorist organization, hosted senior Hamas leaders in Turkey, and blocked NATO cooperation with Israel. The resolution also criticizes Erdogan's rhetoric toward Greece and Cyprus, fellow NATO members. In response, the House calls on Turkey to stand with Israel, immediately denounce Hamas, stop blocking NATO-Israel cooperation, extradite any Hamas members in Turkish territory, and cease divisive rhetoric. The resolution also urges the Biden administration to pause further sales of U.S. fighter jets to Turkey until it demonstrates greater reliability as a NATO partner and commitment to international human rights norms.
