Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of using regional conflicts as excuses for their “occupation and expansion” at a recent event in Istanbul. Erdogan criticized Israel’s justifications, stating that the Israeli government uses various pretexts to legitimize its occupation policies.
Erdogan emphasized the Palestinian resistance to Israel’s actions, especially in Gaza, where the people have bravely resisted for 364 days. He pledged continued support for Gaza and called on the Islamic world to take economic measures against Israeli aggression.
Highlighting Türkiye’s firm stance on the issue, Erdogan stated that the country stands by its values and will not hesitate to speak out against Israel on global platforms like the UN. He also mentioned that Türkiye is the only state to impose economic sanctions on Israel.
Erdogan’s strong words against Israel’s actions and his call for solidarity with the Palestinian people resonate with many who support justice and peace in the region. As tensions continue to rise, Erdogan’s message serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by the people of Gaza and the importance of international support in their fight for freedom.
