Ümit Özdağ, who frequently criticizes the AKP's refugee and migration policy in many platforms he attends and in his statements, has this time directed a criticism at CHP Chairman Özgür Özel.
Reacting to the statement "The Palestinian cause is the cause of all of Turkey" made by Özel, who attended the ceremony held at Adnan Menderes Airport for Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli soldiers, Özdağ used the following expressions:
"Please don't, Mr. Özgür, why should the Palestinian cause be the cause of all of Turkey when it is not even the cause of the Arabs. Let us defend the Jerusalem issue.
Let us oppose the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, which is a moral collapse for the US/EU.
However, there is no need to declare the Palestinian issue a national cause to do these things.
If the PLO and HAMAS support us on issues such as Cyprus, the so-called genocide, the fight against the PKK, the Azerbaijan-Armenia war, and East Turkestan, and if they make these their national causes, then we will call Palestine our national cause. But not before that.
May God have mercy on our citizen named Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by the genocidal Israeli army.
May God also have mercy on our soldiers who fought, were martyred, and became veterans in Sinai, Gaza, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Arabia, and who were stabbed in the back."
