New details from Abbas' historic speech! As soon as Erdogan heard that statement, he stood up.

The President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, addressed the members of the Turkish Grand National Assembly as an honorary guest. Some of the statements used by Abbas, which conveyed messages about Israel's massacre in Gaza to the whole world, were also applauded by President Erdogan.

TIGHT SECURITY MEASURES TAKEN

Due to the extraordinary meeting where President Abbas addressed the world from the podium of the Parliament, intense security measures were taken in and around the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Bomb searches were conducted in the General Assembly Hall with K-9 dogs.

ERBAKAN AND HANIYEH'S PHOTO SIDE BY SIDE

Scarves with the flags of Palestine and Turkey, specially prepared by the Presidency of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, were placed on all seats in the General Assembly for the members. The photo of the slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was placed in a red carnation frame in the front row of the AK Party group. In the rows where the representatives of the Felicity Party (SP) sat, the photo of Haniyeh and Necmettin Erbakan attracted attention. Some AK Party members held up banners showing Israel's attacks on Gaza.

ÖZGÜR ÖZEL COULD NOT ATTEND

While President Erdogan watched the session from his own lodge, which was personally managed by the Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Numan Kurtulmuş, the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, the leader of the Good Party (İYİ Parti), Musavat Dervişoğlu, the co-chairs of the Democracy and Progress Party (DEM), Tülay Hatimoğulları Oruç and Tuncer Bakırhan, followed Abbas' speech in the hall. However, the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), Özgür Özel, could not attend the session due to a broken leg.

WORDS THAT ERDOĞAN APPLAUDED

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was applauded standing up at the US Congress. Abbas, who entered the hall with the accompaniment of the Deputy Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Bekir Bozdağ, was also welcomed by all members with standing ovation for 1 minute and 7 seconds. During his 45-minute speech, Abbas' words were interrupted 29 times by applause from the majority of the members who stood up. Erdoğan stood up and applauded along with the members when Abbas entered the hall and when he finished his speech. It was observed that Erdoğan stood up and applauded after Abbas used the expressions "My life is not more valuable than the life of a child in Gaza" and "I will also go to Jerusalem, our eternal capital" during his speech. After Abbas' address, Erdoğan, Kurtulmuş, and Abbas had a brief meeting with some members of parliament, including Bahçeli.
