Press Release

Stand with the steadfast people of Gaza, not with the arrogant Trump!

(Translated)

Two years have passed since the genocide committed by the usurping Jewish entity in Gaza, which it carried out to conceal the major defeat it suffered on October 7, 2023. Two years in which every day witnessed a new massacre, and indescribable brutality, and the whole world witnessed the barbarism of the usurping Jews that defies reason. Where they targeted children, infants, homes, schools, mosques and hospitals. As for the rulers of the Islamic countries, they met repeatedly, spoke and condemned, then dispersed. And every condemnation encouraged the Jews to do more aggression and massacres. The Jewish entity has gone so far as to prevent a loaf of bread or a sip of water from entering Gaza for many months.

The murderous usurpers were not content with Gaza, but attacked Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Qatar, and then the Freedom Flotilla setting off from Tunisia. While all these events were taking place, Erdogan and some Arab rulers met in New York at the table of the arrogant American President Trump, to discuss a plan that includes disarming the Mujahideen, occupying Gaza, and betraying Palestine, and they showered him with praise.

We in Hizb ut-Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey, on the second anniversary of the Jewish war on Gaza, organized marches under the slogan "We don't want words, but actions," in Istanbul, Ankara and Sanliurfa, with the participation and support of Islamic groups, and with the presence of tens of thousands of Muslims. We say may Allah reward you with good to all the Islamic groups that marched with us, to all the participating Muslims, and to the scholars and preachers who spoke the truth without fear. During the press statements issued after the marches, we addressed the rulers demanding practical steps, saying: "O you who possess power and authority! You have condemned, strongly denounced, and conducted sterile diplomatic meetings, while hundreds of thousands of innocent people are being killed. And you know very well that all of this was not real or deterrent steps. The usurping Jews are not deterred by talk, and the genocide, which has entered its third year, does not end with enthusiastic speeches, and the oppressed in Gaza are not saved merely by talking. So this is not a time for words, but a time for actions, and what is required is not statements of condemnation, but practical deterrent steps."

We cried out demanding that the authority stand with the steadfast people of Gaza, not with the arrogant Trump, and move from words to concrete actions. We demanded the closure of the Incirlik base and the Kurecik radar station, the withdrawal of citizenship from dual nationals serving in the occupation army and their trial, the severing of trade relations and diplomatic relations completely with the usurping entity, the rejection of the sterile United Nations resolutions, the opening of a humanitarian corridor to Gaza, the protection of the Freedom Flotilla by the navy, the consideration of the Jewish entity as a terrorist entity, and the cessation of repeating the United States' plan for a two-state solution.

We also emphasized the need to stand with the Mujahideen until not a single usurper remains on the land of Palestine. But unfortunately, only one day after this appeal, Erdogan announced his support for Trump's arrogant plan, and praised him. This plan, which is supported by Turkey and the Arab regimes, considers the resistance of Gaza to be terrorism, and grants legitimacy to the occupation in all of Palestine. We ask Allah that this plan never sees the light of day. And with the permission of Allah, those who expect deliverance from Trump will be greatly disappointed.

As for our message to the killer Netanyahu and the usurping Jews, it is: O cowardly and despicable ones! Muslim mothers are breastfeeding their children with hatred for you, fathers are instructing their children to fight you, and young people are counting the days to join the army that will defeat you. It is the army of the Rightly Guided Caliphate, and on that day the hearts of the believers will be gladdened by the victory of Allah, and the faces of the oppressors will be darkened.
