The President also pointed to the experiences of the Palestinians in Gaza and noted that Ramadan in Gaza was passed under difficult conditions.
Tatar said, “We neither forget the past nor Gaza. In a year and a half, more than 50 thousand people in Gaza lost their lives in Israeli attacks. Right now, people are breaking their fast with limited means and without homes. As a people that experienced the same things in the 1960s, we understand Palestinians. Thank God there is peace and tranquility here today. We would like to thank our motherland, Türkiye, for making this possible.”BRT
