Yilmaz explained, in a post on the Turkish platform "In Social" on Sunday evening, that the "March of Determination for Gaza," which was held with the participation of tens of thousands of citizens across various provinces, reflects the Turkish people's commitment to the Palestinian cause.
The Turkish Vice President saluted "everyone who raises their voices for Gaza and for peace and justice in the world," considering these voices "a symbol of resistance against injustice."
Yilmaz affirmed that "the 86 million people in Turkey stand with the Palestinian people through their prayers and efforts," emphasizing that Ankara is exerting all its capabilities to achieve a ceasefire, ensure the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid, and pave the way for a permanent two-state solution.
Yilmaz attached to his post photos of marches held in various Turkish states in solidarity with Gaza.
As of Wednesday evening, Israeli authorities seized 42 ships belonging to the Global Steadfastness Flotilla as they sailed in international waters toward Gaza, arresting hundreds of international activists on board, and announcing the start of their deportation on Friday.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving 67,139 martyrs and 169,583 wounded, most of them children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 460 Palestinians, including 154 children.
