Minister Tunç accuses CHP leader Özel of 'political unconsciousness': 'Attempting to question his sensitivity'

Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç stated, "For the CHP Chairman to attempt to question our President's sensitivity regarding the Palestinian issue is nothing more than political unconsciousness.

While Israel's brutal attacks on Gaza continue, it is a lack of seriousness for those who call Hamas, which is defending its homeland, a terrorist organization to utter even a single negative word about our President, who has defended the Palestinian cause on every platform throughout his political life," he said.

Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç shared a post on his social media account regarding the statement made by Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel concerning President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's sensitivity toward Palestine.

Stating that Erdoğan is a strong leader who draws his power from the nation and never remains silent in the face of injustice, Minister Tunç included the following remarks in his post:

"For the CHP Chairman to attempt to question our President's sensitivity regarding the Palestinian issue is nothing more than political unconsciousness.

While Israel's brutal attacks on Gaza continue, it is a lack of seriousness for those who call Hamas, which is defending its homeland, a terrorist organization to utter even a single negative word about our President, who has defended the Palestinian cause on every platform throughout his political life.

Our President is the leader who has displayed the clearest and most courageous stance for the independence of Palestine.

He has opposed Israel's oppression on every platform and has defended the rights of the innocent people massacred in Gaza.

Our President, who has become the voice of the oppressed by saying 'The world is bigger than 5,' is the hope not only of Turkey but of all victims. As Turkey, we will continue our struggle with determination until Palestine achieves its freedom."
