Muslim countries urge action against Israeli violations of Gaza truce

from Daily Sabah

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called on the international community to take a firm stance against Israel’s violations of the Gaza cease-fire, saying nearly 250 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began and warning that attacks aimed at “blockading Palestinians” must end immediately, as he met with his counterparts from six countries in Istanbul.

Speaking at a ministerial meeting on Gaza, Fidan stressed the urgent need for uninterrupted humanitarian access, noting that “600 humanitarian aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks must be allowed in,” but said Türkiye has not seen this materialize. He criticized Israel’s policies that have left aid stuck in warehouses and emphasized that Hamas is ready to transfer Gaza’s administration to a committee composed of Palestinians.

“No action that sabotages peace or undermines the cease-fire in Gaza should be allowed,” he said.

Fidan also discussed ongoing talks on the establishment of an international stabilization force for Gaza.

“Work on defining the scope and duties of this force continues,” he said, adding that countries involved will decide on troop contributions based on the final framework. “As President Erdoğan has repeatedly said, Türkiye is ready to make every sacrifice for peace – but the documents and structure emerging from this process must be ones we can support,” he noted.

On Gaza’s post-war administration, Fidan reiterated that governance must remain in Palestinian hands...

Israel ‘rogue actor blinded by Greater Israel dreams’: FM Fidan

from Daily Sabah

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Israel has become a “rogue actor blinded by Greater Israel dreams” under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that its genocide in Gaza, efforts to annex the West Bank and destabilizing expansionist strategies pose grave risks to the region.

Speaking as chair of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers during the group’s annual coordination meeting on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Fidan said two urgent risks confront the region: Israel’s genocide in Gaza coupled with its annexation efforts and forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank, and Israel’s calculated expansionism threatening regional security and stability.

He underlined the importance of OIC countries adopting a unified stance, stressing the need to halt all international arms and ammunition shipments to Israel. He also urged strengthening the legal struggle by ensuring that the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court serve as mechanisms to end impunity. Highlighting the momentum for recognizing Palestine, Fidan emphasized the importance of full U.N. membership for the State of Palestine...

Turkish FM calls forcing Israel into peace

(The other day Israel's foreign minister was screeching about how Iran causes all the problems in the world and said that Glorious Israel is on the front lines defending the world from da ebil Iranians... she had been asked about Israel's nukes. She also snuck in a dig at Turkey saying they are doing the same thing and that Israel 'has no ambitions'... This morning the NYT published an op ed from the editorial staff about how ebil Erdogan needs to be regime changed for democracy and liberty and all that jazz. For folks out there still demonizing Turkey and Erdogan from the fake alt-left... you will be known by the company you keep.)

from Daily Sabah

At a news conference with his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha on Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reiterated Ankara's support for Palestinians, expressing hope for swift aid delivery to Gaza. Fidan said Hamas was ready for truce in the Palestinian enclave and now Israel should be forced to accept peace.

He emphasized that Palestinian resistance movement was open to a lasting solution and Israel should take steps accordingly too.

Fidan also spoke about presence of YPG, an offshoot of terrorist group PKK, in Syria. He underlined that the group should either accept being "left out of the system in Syria as Daesh did" or they would bear the consequences. He urged YPG to accept ending its presence in post-Assad Syria "in peace."

 

PKK elements in Syria must leave country: FM Fidan

(Oh look. Someone else understands what 'ISIS' actually is. Good. I thought I was the only one)

from Daily Sabah

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the PKK terrorist group's members in the YPG must leave Syria as the country tries to form a new, unified administration, which he said needs to be inclusive and tolerant.

"Elimination of YPG is Türkiye's strategic goal," Fidan told a live broadcast on NTV channel Friday. He highlighted that the PKK's Syrian offshoots have no place in the country's future while noting that the safety of the Kurdish population must be ensured.

"Syria now has a national ruling government," Fidan said, adding that the new administration would not recognize the YPG or others.

"They will take their land and sovereignty back," he added.

YPG, the Syrian offshoot of the PKK, a terrorist group that has waged a bloody terror campaign in Türkiye since 1984 and has killed at least 40,000 people.

For Nora with Love: OKAY... Erdogan... Turkey... Syria. Let's Go

by Scott Creighton

 

Last week Recep Erdogan, Turkey's President since 2014 and former Prime Minister from 2003-2014, made public his communications with Syrian President Bashar al Assad in which he urged the beleaguered leader to meet with legitimate members of Syrian opposition (not the HTS terrorists formerly known as al Qaeda) and make arraignments to step down after running the country for the past 24 years.

According to Erdogan, Assad refused in no uncertain terms.

Next thing we know, U.S. and Israeli backed terrorists serving as our proxy army, swept through the northern part of unoccupied Syria (the rest is held by Greater Kurdistan) and made their way, unfettered, to Damascus and Assad and his family reportedly fled to Russia (though I have yet to see a single interview showing Assad and his family to be alive)

In the wake of these historic events, we see a number of fake alt-left influencers running with the notion that 'Sultan Erdogan' of the 'neo-Ottoman Empire' worked with the al Qaeda terrorists to overthrow Syria and finally remove Assad which they have claimed was his intention for years.

Seems like the fake alt-left (you know who you are... Owen) blame Erdogan more than they blame the U.S. or Israel as if that is even remotely possible.

Is this true? No. Is it born of some semblance of historical accuracy? Yes. But is Recep Erdogan responsible or is something far older and more nuanced at play here? Grey Wolves? CIA? Gladio? Fidan?

Fidan? You ask. What the heck is that?

Hakan Fidan is the CIA's man in Turkey (one of many, turns out) and he's been the head of their CIA (National Intelligence Organization MIT) since 2010 and now is their version of Secretary of State (Minister of Foreign Affairs) since 2023 and is currently...  the man who will take Recep Erdogan's place at the head of the table if the fake alt-left get what their paymasters want... regime change in Turkey.

And oh by the way, he's a Kurd and a CIA asset and it's Fidan who's been whispering in Erdogan's ear all this time and doing our bidding in Syria, for which the fake alt-left then blames... Erdogan.

'Fidan was born to a Kurdish father from Varto and a Turkish mother from Denizli.^[3] He belongs to the Kurdish Hesenan tribe.^[4]

I mean, who better than a CIA-backed Kurd to hand over Turkey's contribution to Greater Kurdistan, right? And to think, the CIA got the gullible or complicit fake alt-left to cheer for it, right Owen?

Damn. Those CIA boys are slippery, ain't they?

Let's do this.
