As he warned that Israel “is a nuclear threat” in the Middle East, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that despite the UN failure to adopt anti-Syria resolution, Turkey would impose its own sanctions.

During a trip to South Africa, Erdogan said Israel was a threat to regional stability because of its nuclear arsenal.

He also said that the Zionist entity "practices state terrorism."

Israel refuses to confirm whether it has a nuclear weapon, but it is widely considered to be the Middle East's only nuclear power.

On the other hand, the Turkish PM aid his country would impose its own sanctions on Syria, despite the UN Security Council's failure to adopt a resolution that would have hinted at future international measures against Damascus.

Erdogan lamented the failure of the resolution, but said it would not deter Turkey from launching its own sanctions against Assad's government.
"Naturally the veto...cannot prevent sanctions," Erdogan said. "We will of necessity implement a package of sanctions."
Russia and China vetoed the European-drafted UN resolution on Tuesday, handing Syrian President Bashar Assad a diplomatic victory.

JOHANNESBURG, (PIC)-- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Israel’s nuclear weapons is a threat to the region, Turkey’s Anatolia news agency said.

During an official visit to South Africa, Erdogan said that Israel is a threat to the region because it has a nuclear weapon.

Erdogan reiterated condemnation of Israel’s lethal attack on a Turkish-flagged aid ship to Gaza in 2010 and its use of excessive force and forbidden weapons in the 2008-2009 war on Gaza..

The Turkish premier accused Israel of “state terrorism” in the Middle East as Israel refuses to confirm whether it has nuclear weapons. He added that it is wrong to criticize Iran over its controversial nuclear program in disregard of Israel, which is widely believed to be the region’s only nuclear power.

He said Ankara opposes the nuclear arms race in the Middle East and called for a diplomatic approach to tackle the crisis between Western forces and those of Iran with regard to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
