A demonstration was held in Eminönü Square, Istanbul, led by the Prophet's Lovers Foundation and Free Jerusalem Platform.

Participants drew attention to the disunity and silence within the Muslim world in the face of the Israeli occupation and its supporters, emphasizing the necessity for the Islamic world to support resistance efforts and form military alliances.

They chanted slogans expressing their support for Palestinian resistance and condemning the Israeli occupation.

Following the recitation of the Quran, Abdullah Aslan, Deputy Chairman of the HÜDA PAR party, delivered a speech to the gathered crowd. Highlighting the Israeli bombing of nine schools in Gaza within eight days, Aslan stated: "The bodies of the martyrs were differentiated by weight. As they couldn't find intact bodies, they assumed each person weighed 70 kilograms and differentiated the corpses by weight. Muslims, we are not watching a movie or a documentary. What we are witnessing right now is real, not virtual. If the Ummah won't stand up for this incident, then what will it stand up for? If the Ummah won't be angry about this, then what will it be angry about?"

Aslan directed severe criticism towards ongoing commercial relations with the occupation regime, stating: "For more than 10 months, we have been saying that trade should be cut off; and we're learning something new. It turns out that our traders have been providing them with energy. Why don't you act with a bit of honor and at least do your part in the boycott that people have started out of conscience? It won't be difficult. Allah will bestow upon you the 3-5 cents you earn from there in another way. Are you bound to them? There are more than 2 billion Muslims. Are you bound to trade with 1-2 million people? Shame on you. People are being killed there. In the last 24 hours, there have been 30 attacks in Gaza. This means 30 civilians, schools, and hospitals have been targeted. Dear Muslims, wake up now. If we won't wake up today, when will we wake up? How long will we postpone this?"

Following Aslan’s speech, a statement was read on behalf of the gathered crowd by Veysel Kaya.

Kaya condemned the ongoing genocide by the Israeli occupation, supported by an alliance led by the United States, which continues to massacre Palestinians. He highlighted the growing Zionist threat across the Islamic world, noting the military build-up in strategic regions like the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Persian Gulf. Kaya expressed his pain over the disunity and conflicts within the Islamic Ummah while the enemies of Islam unite against them.

Kaya called for Islamic countries to urgently form new military alliances to counter Zionist brutality and imperialist expansion. He referenced recent assassinations of key figures like Fuad Shukr in Lebanon and Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which are part of a broader plan to destabilize the Middle East and implement the Zionist vision of Greater Israel.

Kaya concluded by praising the selection of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas following the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh. He expressed confidence that Sinwar, who spent 23 years in Israeli prisons and has dedicated his life to the struggle, will lead the Palestinian resistance to victory. Kaya also condemned the joy of the occupiers at Haniyeh's death, believing they are now in despair under Sinwar’s leadership.

The event concluded with a prayer for Gaza. (ILKHA)
