Erdogan’s most prominent statements were as follows:
– I hope that our meeting will be beneficial to the Palestinian brothers and the entire Islamic world.
We have shown our solidarity with Palestine. Words are no longer sufficient to describe what has happened in Gaza and Ramallah since October 7.
– Civilians were directly targeted for 36 days. In Gaza, we face barbarism unprecedented in history, as hospitals, schools and refugee camps are bombed and civilians are slaughtered.
The Israeli administration takes revenge on children and women because of the October 7 incident, which none of our children found to be true. Nearly 12,000 people have died in Gaza, but these countries do not or cannot demand a ceasefire from Israel.
– Hamas and the invaders cannot be placed on the same level.
– Those who remain silent against injustice in Gaza are partners in bloodshed, just like the oppressors. It is unfortunate that Western countries, which always talk about human rights and freedoms, remain silent in the face of the ongoing massacres in Palestine. The West’s position is characterized by impotence and cowardice. Countries that support Israel must listen to the voice of the street.
Our priority is a permanent ceasefire
The West cannot even call a ceasefire. People are dying in Gaza and they are not moving.
Our priority is to ensure a ceasefire. The decision to halt attacks for 4 hours is a cynical approach.
– We continue our work for cancer patients and children.
The nuclear threat must be investigated
The issue of nuclear weapons must be investigated. If there are nuclear bombs, they must be detected. Such an issue should not be allowed to be ignored.
– The State of Israel, which behaves like the West’s spoiled child, must compensate for the damage it caused.
– Jerusalem is our red line.
Our wish is for Palestine to return to its ancient days.
– The Organization of Islamic Cooperation should establish a fund for Gaza.
