New threats against him Israel were unleashed by Turkey. The country’s head of religious affairs, Ali Erbas, from its pulpit Saint Sofia’s and with a sword in his hand, denounced the massacres of babies, children and women in Gaza Strip.
“One of the worst violent persecutions of humanity today is happening in Palestine, in Gaza. Without any discrimination babies, children, women are slaughtered. There are bomb attacks on houses, hospitals, mosques,” said the supreme imam of Turkey.
The sword, according to Sky’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostides, cited by Turkish media, is perceived as “symbol of intimidation of the enemy, trust in friends”.
Threatening messages from Turkey are increasing, while the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoganthough initially appearing as a willing mediator for a cease-fire, on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Israel, citing “massacres in Gaza targeting urban settlements, places of worship, hospitals and schools”reaching to “level of genocide”.
According to him “unfortunately, the international community has not reacted to the illegal attacks of the Israeli government against civilians”. “We see that the UN Security Council, instead of stopping the bloodshed, establishing a ceasefire as soon as possible and taking measures to prevent civilian casualties, is further deepening the crisis with its unilateral stance. Of course, it is not possible for a structure that monitors the total punishment of the people of Gaza to provide hope to humanity and ensure world peace and stability,” he said.
From his side Devlet Bakhcelileader of the MHP, leader of the Gray Wolves and government partner of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said earlier ready “to launch a mission to Gaza, if the state and the Turkish nation so desire.” In fact, he had initially requested that a 24-hour ultimatum be addressed to Israel to withdraw from Gaza, calling on Turkey to intervene if the deadline is not met.
Responding to the criticism leveled at him from inside Turkey, Bakhceli replied that “my words are not addressed to the “prothymos” with mental problems, to the useless traitors who support the occupation”. He added: “If my state wants me, if my nation supports me, if the circumstances require it, it will be my honor to start with a slingshot against rockets to protect the children in Gaza».
Bakhceli also criticized the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. “The UN Secretary General was only able to appear at the Rafah border crossing. There is no hope from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. “Islamic countries watch helplessly as the bombings in Gaza continue.”
He also pointed out that it is the duty of the turkish nation to protect and support gazawhile presenting two possible scenarios: Either a lasting peace could be achieved through a two-state solution, or Turkey, taking all possible precautions into account, would express its reaction at the highest level, decisively and quickly, in the event of Gaza’s destruction.
