Erdogan Condemns Interception of Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla, Calls it ‘Piracy’

Jakarta – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly condemned teh Israeli interception of the ‍Global Sumud Flotilla attempting to deliver humanitarian⁢ aid to Gaza, labeling the action as an act​ of “piracy” and evidence of Israel’s desperation to conceal its actions.

Speaking ‌in Türkiye on Thursday, October 2, 2024, Erdogan‌ stated, “The Netanyahu government who committed ⁣genocide ⁣cannot tolerate the slightest chance ⁣of peace to be realized.” He characterized the ⁤interception as another example of Israeli brutality and a ⁢demonstration‌ of ‍the⁣ “face of Israeli killers.”

“The Global Sumud​ Fleet‌ once again shows the world the brutality in Gaza,” Erdogan⁢ added, pledging continued support for Palestinians⁣ and efforts to secure a ceasefire and restore peace.

The condemnation follows an proclamation ⁣from the Istanbul Attorney General’s Office that it ⁣has launched an investigation into the detention⁤ of Turkish citizens who were aboard the ships attempting⁣ to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

Hamas has also accused Israel‍ of “piracy” against the Global Sumud Flotilla, calling for international condemnation of the interception. The flotilla, comprised of approximately 45 ships carrying⁢ politicians and​ activists from various nations ‌- including Swedish activist‌ Greta Thunberg – departed from Spain last ⁤month aiming to deliver aid to Gaza, which the United Nations reports is facing famine conditions.

Israeli forces intercepted the ships ‍on Wednesday, October 1, 2024, issuing warnings before preventing them from entering waters designated as⁣ being under blockade. Thunberg’s ⁢vessel was among ​those prevented from proceeding.

Trump⁤ Urges Erdoğan too Distance Turkey from Russian Energy Sources

NEW YORK – September⁣ 25,2025 ‍ – ⁢During‍ a‌ meeting on ⁢the sidelines of the United Nations General assembly,former‌ U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly⁣ pressed‍ Turkish president​ Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to reduce Turkey’s reliance on Russian energy supplies. The discussion occurred amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns over Turkey’s deepening economic ties with Moscow.

The exchange underscores a long-standing U.S. ‍policy objective to limit Russia‘s economic​ and political influence, particularly​ through energy exports. While the specifics of the conversation remain private, sources indicate Trump ‌emphasized the strategic benefits ⁤of diversifying Turkey’s energy portfolio and aligning more closely ⁤with Western partners. This push comes⁢ as⁢ Turkey navigates a complex ‌foreign policy balancing act between NATO commitments ⁣and burgeoning relationships with russia.

The⁤ meeting also touched upon the israeli-palestinian conflict,⁣ a point of meaningful divergence⁤ between the two‌ leaders. while Trump has consistently demonstrated strong support for Israel, Erdoğan has publicly ⁢criticized Israeli Prime Minister ⁣Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing⁢ the israeli government of ‍genocide and the forced displacement of Palestinians.Erdoğan positions himself as a⁢ champion for the Palestinian cause within the Muslim world ⁢and ⁣maintains connections with Hamas, the militant group controlling the Gaza Strip, with some ⁣reports suggesting ‌Hamas members operate within Turkey.

“The Treasure of Jerusalem” raises the anger of Israel .. Erdogan refuses to deliver it

Ancient Inscription ​Fuels Diplomatic Tensions Between ‍Israel and Turkey

Jerusalem – A centuries-old limestone inscription detailing‍ the construction of a water tunnel beneath Jerusalem has ignited a diplomatic dispute between Israel and Turkey, with Israeli​ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu​ accusing Turkish President Recep Tayyip erdoğan of refusing​ to relinquish a⁣ ancient artifact proving Jewish ties ‍to the city. The inscription,⁢ discovered in 1880 during Ottoman rule, ⁣has‌ been held⁤ in ⁤Istanbul sence its excavation.

The ⁢dispute centers ​on the inscription’s significance as evidence of‌ a Jewish presence ⁤in Jerusalem dating back 2,700 years – a claim central to ⁣Israel’s ​historical ⁤narrative. Netanyahu revealed during the inauguration of an⁤ archaeological tunnel in‌ Silwan on Monday that he attempted to secure the inscription’s return in 1998 during a meeting with then-Turkish Prime Minister⁣ Masoud Yilmaz,​ offering a trade‍ of ‌Ottoman‍ artifacts‍ held in Israeli‍ museums. Yilmaz reportedly expressed concern that handing over the plate, which demonstrates Jerusalem was a Jewish city centuries ago, would incite anger within⁢ a growing Islamic electorate led by Erdoğan.

“This is our city. Mr. Erdogan,it is indeed ⁢not your ‍city,but our city,will always remain,” ⁣Netanyahu stated. Erdoğan responded on Wednesday, rejecting Netanyahu’s ⁢”attacks” and reaffirming, “We, as⁤ Muslims, will not retract our rights in East Jerusalem.”

The limestone plate,⁤ found inside the Silwan tunnel, an ancient water channel, describes how to ​build the tunnel and was initially transferred to Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) while Jerusalem was part‍ of the Ottoman Empire.⁤ Israel views the‍ inscription as one‌ of its most significant archaeological discoveries, ⁣comparable⁢ to the‌ Dead‍ sea manuscripts. the escalating rhetoric⁣ comes amid already ⁤strained relations⁢ between Israel⁣ and Turkey, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The future of the inscription and its potential impact on diplomatic⁣ ties remains uncertain.

Israel Attacks and Erdoğan’s Diplomacy: Summits and UN Speech

Erdoğan ​Engages in Diplomatic efforts Amidst Domestic Political Attacks

ISTANBUL – President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held meetings with⁤ both the Greek Orthodox Patriarch‍ Theofilos Giannopoulos and Beykoz Mayor Özlem ‌Vural‌ Gürzel, distributing party rosettes to attendees, as domestic political tensions escalate with sharp criticism leveled against the opposition CHP (Republican PeopleS Party). The meetings come as Turkey reportedly prepares a “diplomatic‍ clamp” intended to pressure Israel, according to Milliyet.

The meetings at the​ Presidential Dolmabahçe Working‌ Office saw Erdoğan receive Patriarch Giannopoulos ​and his delegation, culminating in a gift ⁣exchange. Simultaneously, the ruling party is actively criticizing the CHP,​ accusing it​ of internal strife and corruption.

A statement attributed to “FETRET‍ EVEN” (likely a columnist or spokesperson) vowed to counter ⁣what they describe as‍ attempts to “distribute the clouds of dismissal” over⁣ Istanbul and prevent a prolonged period‌ of ⁢instability (“fetret”).

The statement further alleges the opposition is “integrated with the crisis, ⁣seat fight, and chaos,” attempting ‌to pressure ⁤courts and incite unrest. Specific accusations center around ​a recent scandal ​in ⁣Manavgat involving euros, dollars, and gold, with a challenge directed at CHP Chairman Özgür Efendi to account for alleged bribery. The statement suggests ⁤he should “calculate the bribery nugs in Manavgat” and ⁤apologize⁤ for past accusations ​against police and the judiciary if unable to do so.

Further fueling ⁤the attacks, the statement highlights internal accusations within the CHP itself, ‌citing claims⁤ of vote-buying and bribery made by CHP‌ members. “Victims,complainants,interventions,confessors,defendants and plaintiffs,all the⁤ parties of the CHP,” the statement claims,characterizing the situation as ‍a ⁣”battle of CHP.”

Despite the harsh rhetoric,the ruling party asserts it will maintain “political courtesy” and ⁤not be ⁢drawn into the CHP’s internal conflicts,while also condemning “threats and street calls.”
