Erdogan, a hidden dagger to the cause of Palestine

Seyed Hamed Amini/ This shocking statistic reveals the real face of Recep Tayyip Erdogan; The one who, on the surface, shouted to support Palestine and called Israel a bloodthirsty monster, but in practice, he stabbed Palestine and the Islamic world in the back.

Contradiction of slogan and action; Erdogan, a wolf in sheep's clothing

On the surface, Erdogan presents himself as a defender of Islam and a supporter of Palestinian rights, but in practice, Turkey's economic and military relations with Israel continue and provide for Israel's weapons needs.

From the point of view of psychology, this behavior shows a contradiction in the person's personality, who tries to create a positive image on the surface, but in practice pursues his own interests. This inconsistency between speech and action reduces public trust and leads to moral crisis and social dishonesty.

Military relationship between Türkiye and Israel: hidden cooperation in the heart of public policies

In the 1990s, when military relations between Türkiye and Israel began, these cooperations were mainly seen as a strategic step to strengthen Türkiye's military power. In 1996, Türkiye signed a contract to purchase advanced radar systems "Phalcon" from Israel worth about 1.5 billion dollars. These systems were designed for the Turkish army to improve its reconnaissance and air defense capabilities. Also, in the following decades, Turkey purchased from Israel "SPYDER" air defense systems and advanced equipment such as "Heron" drones, worth a total of more than 2 billion dollars.

Arms Cooperation: Deadly Drones in Israel's Service

One of the important aspects of this covert cooperation is the provision of military equipment to Israel, such as advanced drones, which are used in brutal attacks on Gaza. UAVs such as Heron and Harpy, which are produced by Israel's military industries, have been used in reconnaissance attacks and bombings in Gaza. According to 2020 statistics, Türkiye has exported more than 150 million dollars worth of drone parts to Israel, which have been used for military purposes in Gaza. This military cooperation shows that Türkiye acts in complete contradiction with the claims of supporting Palestine.

Dynamic trade relationship, economic exchanges and important goods between Türkiye and Israel

The trade relations between Türkiye and Israel have witnessed significant growth in recent years and the volume of economic exchanges reached 8 billion dollars in 2022. Türkiye provides a large share of Israel's needs, especially by exporting food, petrochemicals, clothing and industrial parts. For example, in 2022, Turkey has exported about 1.5 billion dollars of food, 2 billion dollars of petrochemicals, 1.2 billion dollars of clothing and 1.1 billion dollars of industrial parts to Israel. On the other hand, Israel also helps to strengthen the country's infrastructure by providing medical equipment, military equipment and advanced technologies to Turkey. In 2022, Israel has exported about 800 million dollars of medical equipment, 500 million dollars of military equipment and 600 million dollars of agricultural and industrial technologies to Türkiye. These economic exchanges have led to the strengthening of trade relations between the two countries and the increase of bilateral cooperation in various fields.

The Turkish nation: support for Palestine and the betrayal of Erdogan's government

In the meantime, the Turkish people have repeatedly expressed their opposition to Israel's crimes. Numerous demonstrations and marches against Israel's actions are proof of the commitment and sincere support of the Turkish people to the Palestinian cause. However, Erdogan's government continues economic and military cooperation with Israel, ignoring the wishes and beliefs of its people. This behavior is a clear betrayal of the beliefs and principles of the Turkish people, who have repeatedly come to the streets in defense of Palestine.

Afghan people's support for Palestine

The people of Afghanistan have always raised their voices in support of the Palestinian cause and the rights of the oppressed Palestinians. This nation, which itself has tasted war and oppression, fully understands the suffering and pain of the Palestinian people, and has always stood by them. In various gatherings and ceremonies, Afghans have shown with their cries and especially by publishing messages on social networks that they are not satisfied with just slogans in defense of Palestine, but with their hearts and actions, they are with this oppressed nation.

Demanding a decisive response from the Islamic world

Now is the time for Islamic countries to react unitedly against Türkiye's actions and its open and hidden cooperation with Israel. Muslim nations must pressure their governments to take a firm and united stand against this open betrayal and warn Erdogan and any government that turns its back on the cause of Palestine. If the Islamic world remains silent against such actions, the trust and unity among Muslim nations in defending each other may be endangered.
