Foreign Ministers of Türkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE issued a joint statement regarding Israel’s moves in the West Bank.

“They condemned in the strongest terms Israel’s illegal decisions and measures aimed at imposing unlawful Israeli sovereignty in the occupied West Bank, rooting settlement activities and creating a new legal and administrative reality, thus accelerating the steps of deportation and illegal annexation of the Palestinian people.” In the statement, it was reported that the ministers reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories.

In the statement, it was stated that the ministers warned that the “continued expansionist policies and illegal measures” by the Israeli government in the occupied West Bank fueled violence and conflict in the region, and that these illegal actions, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law, undermine the two-state solution, and constitute an attack on the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent and sovereign state with “occupied Jerusalem as its capital” on the basis of the borders of June 4, 1967, were firmly rejected.

In the statement, the following was noted:

“These actions also undermine the ongoing efforts for peace and stability in the region. The Ministers declare that these illegal practices in the occupied West Bank are null and void and comply with all UN Security Council resolutions, in particular resolution 2334, which condemns all Israeli practices aimed at changing the demographic structure, character and status of the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, since 1967, as well as Israel’s policies and practices and its continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territories, which finds them to be illegal and confirms the need to end the Israeli occupation.” They emphasized that this constitutes a clear violation of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice in 2024.

It was stated in the statement that the ministers reiterated their calls to the international community to force Israel to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities and to stop the dangerous escalation in the West Bank and the provocative statements of its officials. They also emphasized that the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and state establishment, based on international legitimacy decisions and in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative, on the basis of a two-state solution, remain the only way to achieve a fair and comprehensive peace that will ensure security and stability in the region.

WEST BANK ISSUE

According to the Oslo II Agreement dated 1995, the West Bank; It is divided into three: Area A, which is completely under Palestinian administration, Area B, which is under Palestinian civil administration and Israeli security control, and Area C, which is completely under Israeli control. Area C covers approximately 61 percent of the West Bank.

It was stated that yesterday, the Israeli security cabinet approved a series of decisions that increased Israel’s “supervision and control activities” in the areas under the control of the Palestinian administration in the occupied West Bank.

In the news in the Israeli press, it was stated that some decisions affected the current regulations in Hebron, and that it was decided that the planning and construction powers of the Haram-i Ibrahimi Mosque and its surroundings would be taken from the municipality, contrary to the 1997 Hebron Agreement, and transferred to institutions affiliated with the Israeli Civil Administration.

While the United Nations and the international community recognize the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as occupied Palestinian territory, Israel’s Jewish settlement activities are considered illegal under international law.

According to experts, unilateral steps that change the status quo weaken the possibility of a two-state solution.

It is stated that Israel intensified its military operations in the West Bank after the war against Gaza started on October 8, 2023, and in this process, killings, detentions, forced displacement and settlement expansion steps increased. It is stated that during this period, at least 1112 Palestinians lost their lives, approximately 11,500 people were injured and more than 21 thousand people were detained.

Israel, which continues its attacks in the Gaza Strip by violating the ceasefire, is intensifying its steps that change the status quo in the occupied West Bank and pave the way for the annexation of the region.

3 MILLION PALESTINIANS LIVE UNDER MILITARY RULE IN THE WEST BANK UNDER ISRAELI OCCUPATION

Approximately 3 million Palestinians live under Israeli military rule in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967.

On the other hand, more than 500 thousand Israeli settlers live under Israeli law in 365 Jewish settlements built on Palestinian land in violation of international law.

Palestinians, whose lands and agricultural lands have been seized by the Israeli administration and Jewish settlers, are trying to survive under conditions where the attacks of the Israeli army and the settlers protected by the army are increasing.

The Tel Aviv administration is criticized for not giving adequate punishment to the attackers belonging to Jewish gangs, following the investigations and few arrests made against Israelis who usurped Palestinian lands.

Far-right parties in Israel, especially those supported by settlers, have long advocated the annexation of the West Bank in violation of international law.

In order to reach more foreign students with the Turkey Scholarships given by the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB), the YTB Cultural Ambassadors Meeting program was held at Ibn Haldun University Başakşehir Campus between 8-11 February. Within the scope of the program attended by 40 international students and 10 graduates from universities in Türkiye, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Ibn Haldun University Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan and Rector of Ibn Haldun University Prof. Dr. Atilla Arkan and YTB President Abdulhadi Turus met with international students in the panel titled “Türkiye’s international education vision”.

Speaking at the panel, Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Ibn Haldun University, said, “While these turbulent processes are going on in the world, we see that Western civilization, which we see as the dominant power of the system with issues such as wars, genocides, conflicts, injustices, rising right-wing fascism and radicalism, is no longer interested in these problems. Let alone producing these problems, it does not even take up the agenda of these problems.”

“PROVIDE SUPPORT TO YOUR COUNTRIES’ RELATIONS WITH OUR COUNTRY”

Referring to the importance of international students studying in Türkiye with Turkey Scholarships, Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan said, “Turkey does not give scholarships because it is a source of commercial income. Therefore, it is very critical for us that our guest students, our international students, are individuals who know and promote Türkiye correctly in the countries they go to. This is a gain for our country. While I was working at the World Bank, I also had the opportunity to get to know the aid organizations of Western countries. These development agencies, which are aid organizations within the state, influence the politics of the aided country and shape its destiny in their own way. I have seen that they focus on the concept of education. Türkiye does not have such a problem. We provide aid in many countries without any expectations. We can think that the educational opportunities we offer to the students of those countries are actually to support the future of those countries. Unfortunately, the understanding of helping these countries is not to develop them with their own means, but to maintain their loyalty to them. We want a neighbor, a partner, that can stand on its own. On the contrary, we want our international students in Türkiye to go to their own countries. “These students will naturally support Türkiye’s relations with those countries. A Turkish company doing business in that country will naturally want to work with these friends. I believe that, as Türkiye’s volunteer ambassador, you will also support the strengthening of relations between Turkey and your own countries. We talked about Türkiye’s relationship with the countries they visit and the contribution they make to the proper recognition of Türkiye in the countries they visit,” he said. spoke.

“INVESTING IN WORLD PEACE IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR OWN PEACE”

Pointing out that Türkiye’s investment in world peace is actually investing in its own peace, Erdoğan said, “Who can say that Turkey should not invest in the stability of its neighbors? This is primarily beneficial to Türkiye. When Turkey establishes a certain stability in the region, it is of course beneficial to world peace. Because what is happening in Palestine today destabilizes the whole world. It hurts the hearts of all two billion Muslims. It causes two billion Muslims to accumulate hatred against the Western system and order, right? Therefore, you are actually talking about the Palestine issue.” “When you solve this problem, when you gain the freedom of Jerusalem, it is a great investment in world peace. I think that Türkiye being a beloved country in the world and the increase of its fans in the world is also a great gain for Turkey. I think that as much as Turkey invests in the peace and prosperity of the rest of the world, it actually invests in its own peace,” he said.

MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli made important statements at the “57th Year with Glory” themed program held at Ankara ATO Congresium.

Here are the highlights from Devlet Bahçeli’s speech:

Dear Gray Wolves, who are the epitome of nobility, courage and wisdom, I salute you all with utmost respect, in the mirror of the 57-year-old principle of the Asenalar Nationalist Movement Party and the state of being united as one with its country. I welcome all of you and welcome you.

I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for the flowers he prepared and sent on the occasion of the 57th anniversary of the Nationalist Movement Party.

We have left behind 57 years of history with our independent conscience, peace-loving mentality and tremendous commitment to Turkish History and Culture.

We swallowed the dust of decades, but we did not swallow the treacherous games. We did not expect anything in return for serving our nation. We became friends in our love. We loved this country unconditionally. We loved every person of our nation for God’s sake and held them tightly to our hearts. Because we believe that God is closer to us than we are.

We took a bullet. We suffered from frost in difficult and difficult years. We were heartbroken as we shouldered the coffins of the martyrs in the mosque courtyards. But we did not succumb to oppression. We were not defeated by humiliation. We did not give up on ambushes, games and traps, we did not say okay. Even if one of us left, the other took his place.

“WE ARE TODAY WHAT WE WERE YESTERDAY”

We are today what we were yesterday. We are a nationalist Idealist Movement that carries the honor of belonging to the Turkish Nation with the noble blood in our veins. To be a nationalist idealist, it will not be enough to appear to love the nation.

Nationalism is a test against death when needed.

We are Turkists, Turanists, Turkish Nationalists as on the first day. Those political recruits who question us here and there, who are you? At best, one of you would be a complete political helmsman, and indeed he has become one.

Get well soon to those who are left under the sieve. The fight against those who are above it will continue and the existence of this cause will not be tarnished. Today’s watch is on us. Today’s guards are the Nationalist Idealist movement. It is the People’s Alliance.

Türkiye is not just the name of a geographical region. The owner of the Republic of Türkiye is the Turkish Nation. The future hope of Türkiye and the Turkish Nation is the Nationalist Movement Party and the People’s Alliance.

There is a need to awaken the National Conscience. That’s what we aim to do today. The conscience of our nation, of which we are proud, is one. It is not possible to blacken one by two and divide one by two. The Turkish Nation, including Turks and Kurds, will carry their victorious past into the future. This transportation will definitely be carried out.

Achieving the goal of a terror-free Türkiye will be achieved with the dynamism of National Solidarity.

“NATIONALIST MOVEMENT PARTY IS READY TO PAY THE PRICE”

Turkish nationalism is a unifying, gathering and integrative idea that sees everyone who is bound to the Turkish state as one, equal and brother, and rejects all kinds of discrimination and exclusion. Turkish nationalists are determined, as always, to protect the peace, brotherhood and unity of their beloved homeland and the Turkish nation, and to prevent Türkiye from being dragged into a fratricide. The Nationalist Movement Party is party to protecting these in an environment where Türkiye’s national unity is in danger, and is ready to pay any price for this with peace of mind.

“OPENING THE FOUNDATION’S VALUES TO DISCUSSION IS BETRAYAL”

I warn everyone: Opening the founding principles of the Republic to discussion and trying to destroy them based on ethnic differences is equivalent to threatening the existence of the state. This is also treason.

With the goal of a terror-free Türkiye going from strength to strength, the Nationalist Movement Party has proven to be the center of social politics.

Just as nationalism as a central value was decisive during the Atatürk period, the nationalist mentality of the Nationalist Movement Party will again be the center of Türkiye.

Nationalism is in the hearts of the nation as a rising value. The political address of the new century is clear. The address is the Nationalist Movement Party.

Our only source of power is the pure conscience and heart of the Turkish nation. The Nationalist Movement Party will reject the hybridized, guided so-called nationalist parties and condemn them to extinction.

For us, our 57-year history is intertwined with glory and honor. The future that we call ideal and pursue is our existing passion. Time affects every being according to the existence it carries. We have to get rid of the illusion of not being able to see the forest while looking at the trees. We have to look at the issues without breaking the connection between the past and the future.

If the security of the country is in danger, “Who will stand in my way?” We know the answer to the question best.

Ideal ideals and traits are like stars. Even if we cannot reach them, we can find our way by looking at them.

The Republic of Türkiye will exist with the spirit of its founding in 1923. The agenda is the Nationalist Movement Party and the People’s Alliance. The superpower will reach its goal in 2053, the 600th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul. Assurance is the Nationalist Movement Party and the People’s Alliance.
