Why Erdogan’s decision not to label Hamas as terrorist is commendable
President Erdoğan Defends Hamas as a Resistance Movement
A recent statement from the World Union of Muslim Scholars praised President Erdoğan for his objection to Greek Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis’ characterization of Hamas as a terrorist organization. Instead, Erdoğan described Hamas as a resistance movement defending its lands.
The World Union of Muslim Scholars highlighted Erdoğan’s speech, calling it a victory for the oppressed and a stand against oppressors. The statement conveyed Erdoğan’s message of solidarity with the oppressed worldwide, reassuring them that Turkey stands by their side.
The statement also commended President Erdoğan for his strong statements and honorable attitude, earning him admiration from Muslim scholars and the Islamic Ummah. Drawing parallels to Sultan Abdulhamid II’s stance on Palestinian lands, the statement lauded Erdoğan for evoking the memory of the revered leader.
Erdoğan’s unwavering support for Hamas as a resistance movement has resonated with many, positioning Turkey as a steadfast ally for those fighting for their rights and lands. As the world continues to grapple with issues of conflict and oppression, Erdoğan’s words serve as a beacon of hope for the marginalized and oppressed.
