Hamas parliamentary bloc hails Turkish withdrawal from Israel friendship society

GAZA, — Hamas’s change and reform parliamentary bloc on Wednesday hailed the honorable stand of Turkish lawmakers who withdrew from the Turkish-Israeli parliamentary friendship committee.

The bloc in a message to Turkish parliament speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin expressed hope that the step would precede a total severance of all relations with Israel.

The message recalled Turkey’s solid stand against Israeli violations of Islamic holy shrines and occupied Jerusalem and against the Israeli bloody war on Gaza in which thousands were massacred and hundreds of houses were destroyed over the heads of their inhabitants other than the shelling of mosques.

The bloc urged world parliaments to follow the Turkish example in supporting the Palestinian people and in defending just causes in the world.
