The claim of trade with Israel has stirred up the Parliament: Your mask has fallen, you were caught red-handed.

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Celal Adan to discuss the "Draft Law on Amendments to Certain Laws," which is also known to the public as the "9th Judicial Package."

While discussions continued on the fourth article of the draft law in the General Assembly, Saadet Party Istanbul Deputy Birol Aydın took the floor, stating that Gaza has been under Israeli occupation for 400 days, and said, "History will write this: While massacres continue in Gaza, the government that trades with the Zionists is the same government that detains those who act for Gaza and refers them to the courts.

History will now write this again: It will write about the lawlessness of those who say we should strengthen the internal front against the Israeli threat, and it will write about the existence of a government that transports munitions from our ports to the terrorist regime that threatens our country. Neither your diplomacy, nor your law, nor your trade will save you; unfortunately, history will write you as a government that guarantees the existence of Israel. Rest assured, dear friends, brothers, and companions; please, for a year, one of you come out and say, 'We took this concrete step,' please, please, please. Look, shipments continue. Your mask has fallen, you have been caught red-handed," he expressed.

"THE SPEAKER HAS LOWERED HIS LEVEL WITH LIES FROM HEAD TO TOE"

Following the statements of Saadet Party Istanbul Deputy Birol Aydın, reactions rose from the AK Party ranks, shouting, "You are lying, lying." While discussions continued in the General Assembly, AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu stated, "The speaker who spoke at the podium a moment ago has lowered his level with slanders, lies, and deceit from head to toe. In other words, the Palestinian Minister of National Economy El-Amur has given the best response to such approaches by saying, 'Baseless claims only serve the Israeli government.' Anything beyond this is truly superfluous and unnecessary," he said.

"WE EXPOSED SHIPS CARRYING WEAPONS TO ZIONIST ISRAEL"

In response to the statements of AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu, Saadet Party Group Deputy Chairman Bülent Kaya said, "Exactly one year ago, when our Kocaeli Deputy Hasan Bitmez was speaking at this podium, some of our friends were banging on the desks, saying, 'You are lying.' After the March 31 elections, our President said, 'We are cutting trade with Israel,' and here, he clearly confirmed that those who said 'You are lying' were actually the ones spreading lies and slander. Therefore, shouting 'You are lying' from here is pointless; a friend tells bitter truths. Look, we do not look at what the ruling party is saying in its hunting cafes; we look at what they are doing. Just two days ago, we exposed to the public that a ship carrying weapons to Zionist Israel docked at Haydarpaşa Port. Come on, give us an answer to this," he said.

"ZIONIST ISRAEL IS THE MOUTHPIECE"

In response to the words of Saadet Party Group Deputy Chairman Bülent Kaya, AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu said, "Lies were being told a year ago, and lies are still being told. There is no change in this. The meaning that our President pointed out, which is being attempted to be misinterpreted, is a reflection of a distorted mentality. I say this: back then, it was said that 'weapons are being shipped to Israel.' These are the greatest slanders thrown at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, whose life has been dedicated to the freedom of Palestine, Gaza, and Jerusalem, and his comrades, and they are nothing but the mouthpiece of Zionist Israel," he evaluated.

"MR. AKBAŞOĞLU, EXPLAIN THE SHIP AT HAYDARPAŞA"

In response to the statements of AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu, Saadet Party Group Deputy Chairman Bülent Kaya said, "I consider it a disgrace to say to Mr. Akbaşoğlu, 'You are speaking with the mouth of Zionism.' But my advice to Mr. Akbaşoğlu is this: explain the ship at Haydarpaşa, the ship. I will not address Mr. Akbaşoğlu; I will address the General Assembly. Look, you cannot cover up your guilt by shouting and calling. We are not saying anything about Mr. Erdoğan's heartfelt concern for Palestine. We only advise that those who speak with a heart like Ali should not speak with the tongue of Muawiya; we are not saying anything else. We are not concerned with feelings; we are concerned with your actions. Who approved Israel's membership in the OECD? Who approved its status as a permanent observer in NATO? Who passed the law here that prevented the Israeli murderers on the Mavi Marmara from being tried in Turkey and international courts?" he expressed.

"THOSE WHO DO NOT PROVE THEIR CLAIMS ARE SLANDERERS"

While exchanges occurred between AK Party and Saadet Party deputies, AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu stated, "Everything is happening in front of our nation and the world. The leader who said 'one minute' to Israel and condemned Israel's genocide in front of the whole world at the United Nations, calling on all humanity to stand against Israel, and who has caused the peoples of Berlin, Brussels, Washington, and all over the world to rise against Israel's brutality and genocide is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. I will express this: Everyone knows Mr. Erdoğan's past and present. The reality of standing by Gaza, Palestine, and Jerusalem has been clearly expressed by martyr Ismail Haniyeh, Sinwar, and all the leaders of the Palestinian cause, thanking Erdoğan. The accuser is obliged to prove their claim. Those who do not prove it are clearly slanderers before the law. The burden of proof lies with the accuser; this is a general rule of the world," he said.

"DO NOT DO THINGS YOU WILL BE ASHAMED OF"

Saadet Party Group Chairman Selçuk Özdağ said, "Do you know how much the materials sent to Palestine and going to Israel have increased? Is it 100%? 200%? 300%? 400%? No, no, it has increased by 1 million 200 percent, 1 million 200. How much money the Palestinians must have. They are paying for these iron materials to Turkey, they are paying for these cements, they are paying for these barbed wires. It is true, they will redraw the borders of Gaza; it is true, Israel will withdraw to the 1967 borders; it is true, there will be such a ceasefire. Therefore, there is no such thing. Please, pay attention to your words, at least be silent and remain silent because silence is a virtue; otherwise, do not say 'liar,' this was said by your ministers. And you will see, in 2 months, 3 months, there will be an agreement there, and then you will be ashamed; please do not do things you will be ashamed of," he said.

"ATTACKING ERDOĞAN WITH BASELESS SLANDERS BENEFITS ISRAEL"

The statements of Saadet Party Group Chairman Selçuk Özdağ led to increased discussions in the General Assembly, while AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu stated, "I would like to inform the public about the ship at Haydarpaşa Port mentioned here; it will also be revealed that many lies and slanders have been thrown regarding this matter."

The cargo container ship Katrin, operated by the German company Lubeca Marine, flagged from Germany, departed from the Port of Alexandria, Egypt, and docked at Haydarpaşa Port, berth 6, on November 3, 2024, at 13:55. The ship has unloaded the import cargo of the Enka company at the port. It is waiting for a port exit document to load transformer cargo from Haydarpaşa to Derince. According to the agent's declaration, after loading in Derince, the ship will take cargo from Antalya, and it will carry the cargo loaded in Derince to Cameroon and the cargo loaded in Antalya to Angola. There are a total of 13 crew members on board, including 2 citizens of the Russian Federation, 1 citizen of Ukraine, and 10 citizens of the Philippines. While this is the truth, attacking the legal entity of the Republic of Turkey, which raises the whole world against the genocidal, murderous Israel alongside Palestine, and its elected leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with slanders, lies, and political motives will yield no result other than serving the Israeli government," he stated.

"THE CAUSE OF THIS SHAMEFUL EVENT IS THIS GOVERNMENT"

Following the statements of AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu, CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır took the floor, saying, "While the match between Beşiktaş and Maccabi should have been played in Istanbul, UEFA decided that this match could be played in Istanbul, Turkey said, 'We cannot ensure security, let it be played in a foreign country.' We criticized this, and we criticize it once again. But now, according to the information we received, this match, which will be played in a foreign field, will be played without spectators. Look, the cause of this shameful event is this government. If you are thinking about Israel's security, if you are thinking about the security of that team and saying 'I cannot ensure security, let my team go to another country,' then do not sit in this chair, do not sit in this chair," he expressed.

"WHAT IS THIS SHIP DOING THERE?"

While discussions continued in the General Assembly, Saadet Party Group Deputy Chairman Bülent Kaya stated, "When the truths are shouted in the face, it is the hardest thing in the world to explain to a liar who still says, 'You are lying.' Therefore, when this ship went to the Port of Alexandria, the relevant newspapers had headlined, 'What is this ship doing there?' Germany had also filed a complaint against those who allowed it. Why can't we prevent this ship, which is involved in this crime, from entering Turkish territorial waters? Forget that, is there no other place to anchor this ship that has committed war crimes other than the Mavi Marmara ship? Come out and explain this. Why are you waiting three days to give this answer? Another thing is that the ruling parties are not the state; they are the government. Therefore, every foreign policy preference is also a political preference," he said.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SEND UAVs AND SİHAs TO PALESTINE?"

İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez stated that Israel is committing crimes against humanity and is a genocidal state, saying, "Look, right now we have no chance to access Israel's statistics from Turkey because you have banned it. There is a ban on entering the system where Israel's data, statistics, and commercial details are provided from Turkey. When you enter with a VPN, when you enter from abroad, from England or another country, all reports come out. In September and October, a lot of goods went to Israel. All the records of the products you placed here as Palestine, which you put in the details of the Turkish Statistical Institute, are here, and in Israel's system, it says, 'It came to us.' For God's sake, did you block it and we prevented you? Did you take a stance against Israel and we obstructed you? We just want you to be sincere and stand by the truth against the oppression of Gazans. One more thing, the UAVs and SİHAs you sent to Ukraine, for God's sake, since you can trade with Palestine so much, why didn't you send a single UAV or SİHA to Palestine? Give us the answer so we can all learn," he said.

"I AM READING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE STATE OF PALESTINE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT TRUST TURKEY"

AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu read the statements of the Palestinian National Economy Minister El Amur regarding the criticisms in the General Assembly. Akbaşoğlu stated, "A part of our imports from Turkey to Palestine was made through the Israeli market and Israeli merchants. After this was banned, all transactions in the Palestinian market began to be conducted through Palestinian merchants, and thus the figures increased. For this reason, there has been a noticeable increase in commercial relations between Turkey and Palestine. El Amur also stated that they had the opportunity to discuss all the details with Trade Minister Ömer Bolat today, confirming the new mechanisms implemented, and that they discussed the deterrent nature of these mechanisms to ensure that Turkish products reach only Palestinian consumers in the Palestinian market. 'These products reach the Palestinian market within strict and definite procedures,' he said. I find myself in a position to read the acknowledgment of the state of Palestine for those who do not believe in their own state's ministers and their own state's president," he evaluated.

"TRADE WITH ISRAEL CONTINUES THROUGH OTHER COUNTRIES"

CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır stated that Turkey continues to trade with Israel through different countries, saying, "You tell me, 'If there are people in this country who do not believe in the President and ministers,' I do not believe. Those who insult Sisi yesterday and say, 'You will choose between Sisi and Ekrem Bey' and then hug Sisi, I do not believe. You also know that trade is being done with Israel; it goes to Israel through Greece, it goes through Jordan, I have explained it with documents, Star TV has also explained it, your former provincial chairman has also explained it. If you want, I can provide the documents. So do not deny this, come out and explain it to the public," he expressed.

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, I AM ASKING FOR ONE DOCUMENT FROM YOU, ONE IMAGE"

İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez stated that they want to believe AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu, but the question marks continue. Çömez said, "As someone who knows the geography very well, has been to Gaza and the West Bank, has been to the Golan Heights, knows Israel inside out, knows Lebanon inside out, and knows the Middle East inside out, I say: Where is this trade being done to Palestine? There are two parts of Palestine; Gaza and the West Bank. The Rafah border is closed, and you can only go to Rafah by plane. So, where are the ships that you claim are going to Palestine from Turkey going, for God's sake? They are going to Israeli ports. So, how did the barbed wires, marbles, and steels that have been unloaded from these ships at Israeli ports get to war-torn Palestine? For God's sake, I am asking for one document from you, one image to prove that these are being used by the Palestinians," he said.
