Emine Erdoğan calls on first ladies to be ‘voice of Gaza’

In a show of global solidarity for Palestinians, first ladies from different countries gathered in Istanbul Wednesday for a summit hosted by Emine Erdoğan, where the Turkish first lady called on all the first ladies in the world to be “a voice of Gaza,” and to stop Israeli attacks that killed thousands of Palestinians so far.

The “One Heart for Palestine” summit, held at the presidential office in Istanbul’s Dolmabahçe, a diplomatic hub used by Turkish officials to address world crises, delivered a powerful message for the civilians caught in the Gaza Strip, specifically considering vicious Israeli attacks that have escalated since Oct. 7, signifying a new phase in the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Giving the opening speech at the summit, the Turkish first lady condemned Tel Aviv for atrocities in the region and its recently escalated threats to drop a bomb upon Palestinians.

Already, Israel has claimed over 11,000 lives, including those of children.

Erdoğan called for “global consciousness,” saying: “The ground in the region has turned to be a hell, while the underground has turned into a necropolis of children; it is never possible for any promised future to materialize there.”

“Who can ever feel really safe in an order that has been built upon such destruction,” she asked in the key gathering, where noteworthy attendees included first ladies from Palestine, Qatar, Senegal, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, the Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Bosnia Herzegovina, Lebanon, Scotland, Pakistan, Libya, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Turkmenistan.

First ladies from Azerbaijan, Brazil, and Venezuela sent video messages to the significant gathering.
