Erdogan: Hamas is not a terrorist group and fights for its land.
Emphasizing that he has canceled his trip to the occupied territories, the Turkish president said that Hamas is not a terrorist group and is fighting for the liberation of its land.
The Turkish president emphasized that Hamas is not a terrorist group, but “liberators” who fight for their lands and people.
According to Turkey’s Anatolia news agency, Erdogan stated that despite the fact that he had planned a trip to the occupied territories, he canceled it and said: We had good intentions towards Israel, but they abused our good intentions, and I canceled my trip to Israel. I canceled it”.
He distinguished between the Jewish people and the Zionists and said: “The Jewish people know very well that Turkey is the only land where anti-Semitism has not existed for centuries.”
The Turkish president pointed to the role of America in recent crimes in Gaza and said: “America will fail because it does not want the world to be governed fairly. “Almost half of those killed in the Israeli attacks in Gaza were children, and this shows that the aim is to commit a deliberate crime against humanity.”
The Turkish president stated: “Turkey has no problem with the Israeli government, but it has never and will never approve of Israel’s crimes and its way of functioning as a group and not as a government.”
Regarding the relations between Turkey and the Zionist regime, he said: “Relations between Turkey and Israel could be normalized, but Ankara did not see any reciprocal steps from Israel.”
Referring to these cases, Erdoğan said: “Since October 7, Israel has carried out the most brutal attacks in history, and most of the dead were children. Israel behaves like an organization instead of a government.” “The bloodiest attacks in history are taking place.”
The Turkish president then said: “We cannot tolerate Israel’s act of killing children and it is time to speak clearly to those who kill women and children. We will not give up our honorable position in supporting the oppressed”.
