 The Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the Iranian President, Ibrahim Raisi, have joined forces to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza. They both expressed their commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause and called for an immediate halt to the Israeli attacks.

Erdogan's Strong Words

During a press conference in Ankara, Erdogan condemned the inhumane attacks on Gaza and emphasized the need for justice. He stated that the people of Gaza are enduring unimaginable brutality, and those responsible will be remembered for their actions. Erdogan also criticized those who claim to champion human rights and democracy but fail to act in the face of such atrocities.

Seeking Justice through International Law

Erdogan expressed his support for the lawsuit filed against Israel in the International Court of Justice. He believes that holding Israel accountable for its war crimes is crucial. Erdogan pledged to work tirelessly to stop the massacres, establish a ceasefire, and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.

Reducing Ties with Israel

President Raisi echoed Erdogan's sentiments and emphasized the importance of reducing relations with Israel. He stated that both Turkey and Iran are committed to supporting Palestine and ensuring the rights of the Palestinian people. Raisi condemned the Zionist regime's actions, which have not only affected the Islamic nation but also outraged people worldwide.

Accusing the United States

Raisi accused the United States of supporting Israeli crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza. He called on Islamic countries to sever their economic and political ties with Israel, urging them to take a stand against these injustices.

Postponed Visit

Raisi's visit to Turkey was postponed twice due to scheduling conflicts and attacks in Iran. However, the two leaders finally came together to address the urgent situation in Gaza.
