HÜDA PAR’s youth organized a significant protest march following evening prayers at Grand Mosque in Gaziantep, condemning ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Hundreds of citizens, along with members of the HÜDA PAR Gaziantep Provincial Youth Branches, gathered in solidarity against what they termed as the "genocide" and "inhumane attacks" perpetrated by the Israeli occupation regime in Palestine.

The march, marked by waving Turkish, Palestinian, and Tawhid flags, resonated with chants echoing through the streets: "Down with Israel, down with America", "Hamas resistance, continue the struggle", and "Gaza and Gaziantep stand together shoulder to shoulder".

Ahmet Üstündağ, President of HÜDA PAR Provincial Youth Wings, passionately addressed the crowd, calling for global unity and action against Zionist aggression. "Today, we stand here not just as citizens of Gaziantep, but as voices of conscience for the oppressed people of Gaza," he declared. "The bloodshed in Gaza is not just a distant tragedy; it is an assault on humanity. We cannot remain silent while innocent lives are lost and families shattered."

In his impassioned speech, Üstündağ criticized international complacency towards Gaza, particularly targeting the United Nations. "The UN's passivity in the face of such blatant atrocities is unacceptable. How many more lives must be lost before meaningful action is taken?" he questioned, his voice ringing with urgency.

He highlighted the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing staggering statistics of nearly 40,000 innocent lives lost since October due to Israeli military operations. "These are not just numbers; they are children, parents, and grandparents whose lives were brutally taken," Üstündağ lamented. "We must act now to end this cycle of violence and ensure justice for the Palestinian people."

The protest culminated with prayers for Gaza, underscoring the unwavering support of Gaziantep's residents for the Islamic resistance against Israeli occupation. Participants vowed to continue their advocacy efforts and urged global leaders to take decisive steps towards peace and justice in Palestine.

"This is not just about Gaza; it is about justice, humanity, and our shared responsibility to stand up against oppression," concluded Üstündağ, as the crowd echoed his sentiments with resounding takbirs and chants of solidarity.

The event symbolized Gaziantep's steadfast commitment to the Palestinian cause and its call for an end to the suffering in Gaza. (ILKHA)
