Ankara – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Vows Muslims Will Not Give Up their rights over occupied East Jerusalem, reaffirming Turkey’s strong solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of Turkey’s new Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Ankara, Erdogan declared that Turkey will continue to stand with the oppressed people of Gaza and resist all attempts to destabilise the region.

Strong Words Against Israeli Aggression

Erdogan strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, calling them “brutal attacks” against innocent civilians.

“No one can stop us from standing by the oppressed people of Gaza who are struggling to survive Israel’s brutal attacks,” he said.

The Turkish leader stressed that Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes and human rights violations. He also urged the international community to take firm steps to stop the bloodshed in Palestine.

East Jerusalem and Muslim Rights

Reaffirming his long-standing position, Erdogan made it clear that Muslims will not step back from their historic and religious rights in East Jerusalem, home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

He said that Turkey will continue to defend Palestinian rights and will never allow Israel to impose its expansionist agenda in the holy city.

Plans for International Action

Erdogan announced that Turkey will raise the issue of Palestinian statehood once again at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

He also called for economic pressure and sanctions on Israel, pointing out that past experiences have proven sanctions to be effective in forcing change.

Harsh Criticism of Netanyahu

In his speech, Erdogan compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, accusing him of leading a government that acts as a “network of killers.”

He said Israel’s aggression is pushing the Middle East towards instability and bloodshed, but Turkey will continue to push back on behalf of justice, peace, and human dignity.

Erdogan’s Call for Global Unity

The Turkish President expressed hope that the “Front of Humanity” will gather wider international support for Palestine at the UN and beyond.

He urged Muslim countries and the wider global community to unite in pressuring Israel to end its occupation and brutal policies.

Conclusion

Erdogan’s latest remarks highlight Turkey’s firm stance on the Palestinian issue, especially at a time when the people of Gaza face one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history.

By pledging to keep East Jerusalem and Gaza at the centre of Turkey’s foreign policy, Erdogan has once again positioned himself as one of the most vocal world leaders standing against Israeli aggression.
