President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan answered questions from journalists upon his return from the Extraordinary Joint Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League held in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Erdoğan made important statements regarding Israel's claims of "promised land."

"TELLING MADE-UP FAIRY TALES"

Stating that Israel serves not a religion but a "deviant ideology," Erdoğan said, "Netanyahu and his gang are telling the world the made-up fairy tales of Zionism. The UN condition mandates the territorial integrity of states and prohibits the forcible alteration of borders. Therefore, the scenarios presented with the concept of 'promised lands' are legally invalid. Those who govern Israel are nothing more than a murder gang that has turned into a fascist ideology. In this respect, Netanyahu is ideologically akin to Hitler. Just as Hitler could not see the defeat due to the effects of progress, Netanyahu will experience the same fate."

"THE ISLAMIC WORLD MUST RESPOND"

Emphasizing that Israel has harmed not only Muslims but also Christians and Jews, Erdoğan highlighted that Zionism is a dangerous ideology, stating, "Israel cannot tarnish the sacred memories of our prophets. The Islamic world must respond to this vile attack with knowledge and wisdom. It is vital to develop mechanisms for security, cooperation, intelligence sharing, and crisis management among countries. We must strengthen our brotherhood by adhering to our Prophet's call, 'O servants of Allah, be brothers.'"
