“While we were having a sad Ramadan due to what happened in Palestine, especially in Jerusalem, I wished God’s mercy on our brothers who died in Israel’s attacks and healing for those who were injured. In our meeting, I strongly condemned Israel’s interventions towards those who prayed in the Masjid al-Aqsa, and stated that I expressed to Mr. Abbas that we will stand against the provocations and threats against the status and morality of -i Aqsa. Turkey is always on the side of Palestine. The events remind us of the necessity for all Palestinian groups to work towards unity and reconciliation. I expressed my gratitude for the prudent leadership he will display in terms of the unity.”
