Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday stepped up his rhetoric against the Zionist entity over its deadly air offensive on Gaza, accusing it of committing "state terrorism" against the Palestinians.

Presenting himself as the sole world leader speaking up for the Palestinians, Erdogan said that any normalisation in the troubled ties between 'Israel 'and Ankara was currently out of the question.

"Israel is continuing to carry out state terrorism in the region. Nobody, except us, tells it to stop," Erdogan told members of his ruling party in parliament, accusing 'Israel' of perpetrating a "massacre" of Palestinians.

"To what extent will the world remain silent to this state terrorism?"

Supporters from his Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) often interrupted his address by shouting slogans like: "Murderer Israel!".

Erdogan also lashed out at Israeli lawmaker Ayelet Shaked who posted controversial remarks on social media suggesting the Palestinians deserved to die.

"What's the difference between this mentality and that of Hitler?" Erdogan said.
