Press Release
Turkish People have Become One Heart for Gaza
Whereas Governments have Sufficed with Verbal Condemnation without Action in Confronting the Jewish Usurper Entity
(Translated)

Nearly two weeks ago, and the savage attacks launched by criminal Jewish usurper entity (Israel) on the Muslim people of Gaza continues. Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey called on the Turkish people in this week to take to the fields to protest the silence of the rulers of the Muslim countries. So on Friday July 18, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey held protests that included several cities to condemn the Turkish government and the governments of other countries, which were limited to pathetic feeble verbal condemnation instead of taking action against the Jewish Zionist state the usurper of the Blessed Land and against the massacres committed.

After Friday prayers in Istanbul's Fatih Mosque thousands of Muslims were drawn in a massive march to the Saraj Khanah Park under the calls of takbeerat and tahleel and raised banners for the Khilafah "Caliphate": "No two-state solution for Palestine! One State and the Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah is the solution." The press statement called on the governments of the countries that sufficed with condemnation to mobilize the armies. In Ankara after Friday prayers in the Mosque of Haji Bayram Ankara, funeral prayers for the martyrs were carried out in a mass prayer. On the same day, an Iftar feast was provided at the Abdi Ipekci Park in Ankara and at Shamsi Tabrizi in Kunya, concluding with a press statement. The protests ended with prayers after the Maghreb prayer with thousands of Muslims, young and old, men and women.

In Vann and Mersin, Muslims carried out the Friday prayers led by Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey, and gave a beautiful example of solidarity for the Muslims in Gaza, while the crowds criticized the usurping Jewish entity; they invited the rulers of the Muslim countries, which merely sufficed in statements of condemnation to take practical measures against this entity. Whereas in Bursa only an Iftar was set up in the field of Orhan Gazi on Sunday, July 20, and a press release was issued addressing the people of Gaza, reminding them of glad tidings of the return of the promised Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah: "O Muslims in Gaza! You shall soon hear the sounds of the takbeerat coming from the army of the Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah, whose time for its establishment has come." The hands were raised to Allah Almighty. In Erzurum, the security forces and some of the administrative officials from the civil society institutions prevented any initiative by the members of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey in a dreadful manner from issuing a press statement in the wake of the protests that took place there. The sincere Shabaab invited a few Muslims a few days before to a press release after Friday prayers in Lala Pasha Mosque, but they were met with a prevention plot that had been prepared in advance. May Allah reward these Hizb ut Tahrir members for their sacrifices and great efforts be immensely rewarded. However, those who work to hide the truth and stand publicly by the oppressor's side, it is only for us to remind them of Almighty Allah's promise and torment.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey once again recall the following:

Palestine is part of the Islamic world, and Palestine was the Muslims' first Qiblah! And Palestine was the end of the Israa' and the start of the Mi'raj! Palestine is the Islamic Ummah's bleeding wound, and it will not heal until the demolishment of the usurping entity of Palestine. Palestine is the right of Muslims until the Day of Resurrection. For this reason, to be sufficed with condemnation and chastisement will not have any impact, since the Jews are the murderers of the prophets and the most hostile to Muslims. And such the shouts condemnation and chastisement by the rulers in Turkey without the mobilization of the armies to bring victory to the people of Gaza is the talk without action is most hated by Allah the All-Powerful al-Aziz, and His Messenger, and His believers.

O Muslims! The only solution for the issue of Palestine is the only nation, namely the Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah. We invite you to Qunoot, on the 23rd and 24th of July, beseeching Allah Almighty to honor us with the establishment of the second righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" State, and lift the injustice of all Muslims in Gaza, Syria and all Muslim countries, bringing victory soon.
