Congresswoman Dina Titus today introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives condemning Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist statements attacking Israel and threatening other U.S. allies.

“This resolution sends a strong message to President Erdoğan that the United States will not tolerate his continued statements threatening Israel and supporting the terrorist group Hamas in its war on Israel,” Congresswoman Titus said. “His statements are spreading anti-Semitism around the globe and are undermining NATO’s mission to avoid further conflict in the Middle East, including potential attacks on important U.S. allies like Greece. The Erdoğan regime should know it has an obligation to defend democracy, not terrorism.”

Congresswoman Titus, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Subcommittee on Europe, was joined in her resolution condemning the Erdoğan regime by Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL-10) and Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL-12), both of whom are Co-Chairs of the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance.

Congressman Schneider said, “The destabilizing actions and statements coming from President Erdoğan’s regime threaten not only our ally Israel but also the unity and security of NATO itself. This resolution condemns these harmful actions and underscores the importance of accountability within the international community. We urge Turkey to respect its commitments to democracy, peace, and alliance integrity, as we collectively work to counter terrorism and foster stability worldwide.”

Congressman Bilirakis said, “The United States stands firm in its commitment to defend Greece against Turkish aggression and push back against Erdogan’s repeated anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist rhetoric.  His actions have been a destabilizing force in the region, and it is time for the United States to start demanding that this so-called ally start acting like one.”
