The President of Turkey said: No power can remove the love of Quds from our hearts. As Türkiye, we consider it our duty to support Jerusalem. Supporting Quds is supporting peace, humanity and beliefs. Referring to the step-by-step occupation of Palestine, Erdoğan said: Today in history, you see the most brutal form of conflict. I thank all the people around the world who stand by Palestine.

He continued: Today’s Hitlers and Nazis are the ones who kill the children of Gaza. With his crimes, Netanyahu has shamefully registered his name as the butcher of Gaza.

The President of Turkey said: We cannot call Hamas and the Palestinian resistance groups as terrorist groups. We recognize the brothers of Hamas as the national forces of Palestine and we will continue to support them with pride. Referring to the 200 days of genocide in Gaza, Erdogan said: “You cannot stop it by dropping hundreds of tons of bombs.” Run away from civilians and the deliberate destruction of mosques, churches and schools and turning Gaza into a huge graveyard.
