Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi, while not even two months into his new role, pointed out that the region we are in is going through a critical process and praised Erdoğan as follows:
“But everyone knows that we have a world leader at our helm. While everyone is in a state of anxiety, wondering what will happen tomorrow, we have no such worries. Because we have a world leader at our helm. A leader comes along once a century; in those days, the head of the Islamic Ummah was Abdülhamid Han. Today, the head of the Islamic Ummah is our President.”
A week after Çiftçi, Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin also spoke about Turkey's global role and explained that Erdoğan is described by many countries as a “peacemaker,” saying, “If Turkey is shown as an example in the struggle for peace in foreign policy all over the world today, it is thanks to our President's resolute stance on these issues and his Muslim stance that centers on human rights. May Allah be pleased with him.”
RİZE BAGELS WERE DISCUSSED, BUT...
We are on the sixth day since it was revealed that Israel's hostage and hitman, US President Trump, threatened numerous countries, including Turkey, to sign the Abraham Accords. If we count the days before that, it is the eighth day.
The background is as follows:
On the night of Saturday, May 23, Trump asked the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain to sign the Abraham Accords during a phone call. In other words, he said it to the faces of all these leaders.
Trump announced this a day later, and that is how the world found out.
What did we learn thanks to the US media? That the leader of Pakistan immediately rejected this offer. Subsequently, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar all announced to the public that they would not sign the agreement.
And what about Erdoğan's attitude and reaction? We do not know; we can only speculate.
Given that he is the “head of the Islamic Ummah” and his “Muslim stance,” he must have either not deemed the offer serious enough to respond or hung up the phone on Trump, right?!
But one still wonders about the wisdom behind this silence.
Imagine if someone from Turkey said, “We must normalize our relations with Israel, we will not sign the Abraham Accords”; wouldn't the police be at their door in an instant, wouldn't there be a lynching... what wouldn't happen?
Erdoğan performed the Eid prayer at the Great Çamlıca Mosque in Istanbul. Granted, even though Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek made a lengthy assessment on the same day as the ruling, this issue was not asked of Erdoğan because the “absolute nullity” ruling that shook Turkey was considered an “internal issue” of the CHP.
But wait, doesn't Trump's Abraham Accords offer concern the entire country, the Islamic world, and first and foremost the AKP, such that the taste of Rize, Ankara, and Istanbul bagels was discussed, but this was not?
Especially when Erdoğan, while talking about Palestine and Gaza, said, “I believe that this tyrant called Netanyahu will also receive the necessary punishment before the eyes of the world's Muslims, God willing. I hope we see this stance soon, and let us experience this stance all together. We are waiting for 4 million, 5 million Muslims to experience this personally. May God be our helper. May Eid al-Adha be a means for the unity of the Islamic world.”!..
I AM TELLING IRAN, YOU UNDERSTAND TOO
Ankara did not speak on the first day of the holiday, but Trump spoke again that same day after a cabinet meeting, saying that the participation of regional countries in the Abraham Accords should be part of the agreement process with Iran. When he asked Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff about the situation, he received the answer, “We are definitely pushing.”
Trump also sent a message to Iran:
“They thought they would keep me waiting. They thought there were midterm elections. I don't care about the midterm elections.”
Could this also have been a message to Ankara, which seems to be playing for time by remaining silent?!
Let us recall Trump's first post on the subject; he stated that it was “mandatory” for Saudi Arabia and Qatar to sign “immediately” and for Turkey and other countries to follow suit, and issued the threat that “otherwise it would be a disaster.”
Now, the US media is writing and drawing that Trump is pressuring Turkey for the agreement. The famous think tank Atlantic Council is dangling the carrot that if the agreement is signed, the 7 billion dollar loss will be recovered through the trade that will revive between Turkey and Israel!..
WHILE THIS TRUMP INFATUATION EXISTS
Meanwhile, the claim has surfaced that Erdoğan plans to attend the Turkey-USA World Cup match to be played in Los Angeles on June 25, and is trying to arrange a meeting with US President Trump on the occasion of the match.
The agenda of the possible meeting is the NATO Summit to be held in Ankara on July 7-8.
As is known, it is unclear whether Trump will attend the summit, which will be held at great expense while in the midst of such a major economic crisis, and it is alleged that he has set certain conditions for attending.
And Ankara desires his arrival so much and makes it so obvious that it is practically serving the “Abraham Accords first” condition to Trump on a silver platter!..
The most surprising thing is that even the pro-government media writers, who declare mobilization every single day to destroy Israel, are not making a peep.
Those who can write are trying to trivialize the issue by saying either “The Abraham Accords were stillborn; whoever signs them kills their own soul” or “Trump's insistence on the Abraham Accords will not hold.”
From the opposition, only Saadet Party Chairman Mahmut Arıkan is raising his voice.
Yes, the elected administration of the CHP is preoccupied with the party's own troubles. But have they still not understood that one of the primary reasons for the surgery performed on the CHP is to mask the internal and external agenda; that while they are busy responding to “Mr. Nullity,” they are not explaining these grave developments to the nation?!
