Israeli forces raided the Freedom Flotilla, which was on its way to break the blockade in Gaza early in the morning. Three Turkish MPs on the Freedom Flotilla were detained by Israel.
"ISRAEL SHOULD COME TO ITS SENSES"
TBMM President Numan Kurtulmuş spoke about the detention of the 3 MPs during a special session held in the Parliament. Stating that they condemn the attack, Kurtulmuş said, "Our friends must be released immediately and brought to Turkey. We advise Israel to come to its senses. Turkey has initiated efforts for the release of our citizens and is monitoring the situation of the activists."
Highlights from Kurtulmuş's statement;
"As the TBMM, we will also put forward our initiatives on this matter. Our 3 MP friends are not alone there. There are not only 3 MPs of the Republic of Turkey, but also 600 of our MPs are on that ship of Conscience. A free Palestinian State will definitely be established from the river to the sea. We greet with love the selfless members of humanity who stand by the oppressed, regardless of their language, religion, or color. We tell our MPs, 'Hold on, Turkey is behind you, the Parliament is behind you.'
"IF HARM COMES TO OUR FRIENDS..."
If any harm comes to our friends who are members of the TBMM, it will be you who will account for it in front of world public opinion. Israel, these are the drops that overflow the glass. Accelerate your processes to return Turkey's honorable and heroic MPs to Turkey as soon as possible.
"THEIR CRIMES ARE INCREASING EVERY DAY"
Unfortunately, the crimes against humanity are increasing every day. They continue to take steps forward with their eyes closed everywhere you say they will stop or take a step back due to international pressure. Even during the peace talks initiated with the encouragement and advice of the President of the United States, the Israeli forces never cease to bomb the people of Gaza, taking dozens of lives.
"THEY USE HUNGER AS A WEAPON"
Similarly, at a time when the whole world is waiting for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid and medical supplies can be brought in, hunger continues to be used as a major weapon.
