Erdoğan calls for Islamic unity and deterrence against Israel
During the Mevlid-i Nebi Week celebrations at the Haliç Congress Center in Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a strong call for unity among Muslim nations. Addressing the 1501st anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's birth, Erdoğan emphasized that Islamic countries must strengthen their collective deterrence and work together to protect their rights, rather than relying on external assistance.
Erdoğan leveled sharp criticisms against the Israeli government, describing it as “war-addicted” and accusing its policies of being genocidal and occupationist. He stated that Zionism poses a threat not only to neighboring countries but to all who advocate for regional peace and humanitarian values. He highlighted the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, describing it as a “child graveyard,” and noted the plight in Lebanon, where 1.3 million people have been displaced by Israeli attacks.
Furthermore, the President urged the Islamic world to increase alliances and reduce internal disputes to build lasting peace and security in the region. He criticized the international community and global institutions for their perceived lack of resolve in stopping the ongoing violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
