“The occupier, Israel, is every day occupying more and more lands of Palestinians but powerful (nations) who could deliver justice to Palestinians, are not paying attention,”
— Hasan Turan, a lawmaker and chairman of the Palestine Committee at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye
A three-day conference discussing “Our vision for liberation in Palestine” began Saturday in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul.
Palestine is a “fundamental problem in the world,” said Hasan Turan, a lawmaker and chairman of the Palestine Committee at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye.
“The occupier, Israel, is every day occupying more and more lands of Palestinians but powerful (nations) who could deliver justice to Palestinians, are not paying attention,” he said, addressing the conference that is hosted by the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA) at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (IZU).
Calling Palestine “a litmus test for the whole of humanity,” Turan urged all “conscience keepers and those who stand for freedom and justice to side with Palestinians.”
For Türkiye, he said, Palestine is “our red line,” echoing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
