The MHP shared a video on its social media account regarding Israel's attacks on Gaza, featuring a song by 'Ferdi Tayfur'.
The video included footage of the destruction in Gaza following Israeli attacks. The video, which begins with remarks by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, continues by pairing the war in Gaza with arabesque music.
The video includes the following remarks by Devlet Bahçeli:
"Jerusalem is crying, Gaza is crying. Sincere Muslims are lamenting. The blood of our sanctuaries is being drained, wailing is rising, and tears are flowing from the eyes of the oppressed. Al-Aqsa Mosque is sorrowful for this reason, and our Palestinian brothers are forlorn for this reason. Jerusalem is Islamic and also carries the deep traces of Turkishness. Jerusalem is the honor lock of our heritage. Scenarios for the end of the world have been put into circulation. The oppressors have gone mad, and cruelty has been serialized."
