Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been one of Israel's most outspoken and fiercest critics since the start of the Gaza War. He has frequently called Israel a terror state, likened its prime minister to Adolf Hitler, and expressed support for Hamas.
Most NATO members classify the Palestinian militant group as a terrorist organization, but Turkey does not.
Erdogan may be accused by some Western critics of going too far in his backing of Hamas, but recent developments indicate he hasn't yet won over his home political base.
