On Monday, the Presidency's Directorate Communications of the Republic of Türkiye released a book titled "Our Palestinian Cause," which documents the ongoing human tragedy in Gaza as well as Türkiye's efforts to end Israel's oppression of Gaza.
In his introductory remarks, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, "Palestine, which has been the site of the gravest human rights violations and atrocities for decades, is once more besieged by indescribable suffering, blood, and tears." He pointed to Türkiye's diplomatic efforts to stop the war in Gaza and provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
The book, which was published in Turkish, English and Arabic, consists of 7 chapters, including chapters on the historical background of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, Israel's genocide attempt against Palestinians that started on October 7, and the civilians killed in Israeli attacks.
Chapter 4 of the book includes statements by Palestinian and Israeli authorities during the months of the genocide. Chapter 5 deals with the international community's approach to the Israel-Palestine issue. Chapter 6 of the book covers the reflections of Israeli brutality in the national and international media, while Chapter 7 focuses on Türkiye's support for the Palestinian cause and President Erdoğan's peace initiatives.
Speaking about the book, Head of Communications Fahrettin Altun emphasized that Ankara has always been on the side of the oppressed and made the voice of truth and justice heard on all platforms for the just cause of Palestine, adding that "the book Our Palestinian Cause, published in three languages, documents this reality, as well as Türkiye's efforts."
Israel has continued its devastating war, which began on October 7, despite two UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the International Court of Justice's decision to end the occupation of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, to take measures in order to prevent the acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
