During a rally held in front of the Ataşehir Municipality, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stumbled over his words. Özel's statement, "In the war, 71 thousand Israeli babies died. Women died. Children died," drew attention.
The mistake made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel during the rally held in front of Ataşehir Municipality has become a topic of discussion.
SAID "ISRAELI" INSTEAD OF "PALESTINIAN BABY"
Özel, who wanted to draw attention to the humanitarian drama in the region, accidentally stated, "In the war, 71 thousand Israeli babies died. Women died. Children died."
Özel's words, in which he said "Israeli" instead of "Palestinian" while criticizing Israel's attacks on Gaza, quickly drew attention. Although Özel emphasized the casualties in the region and the tragedy experienced during the continuation of his speech, and indicated that his intention was to express the losses in Palestine, the erroneous expression he used was captured by the cameras.
