1- In the first months of Israel’s ongoing live genocide—following Hamas's October 7 attack, allowed and facilitated by Israel—we repeatedly warned on X that unconditional Western support, particularly from the US, would bring about the end of Anglo-Saxon hegemony.👇

2- The UK, Canada, and Australia have acknowledged the need to stop this trend by recognizing the State of Palestine. This decision represents a significant departure from Washington’s stance and highlights the limitations of a unified “Anglo-Saxon” front.

Erdoğan is in New York. TRT(state TV) reporter: What do you think about Bahçeli’s call for a TRC (Turkey–Russia–China) alliance? Erdoğan: To be honest, I didn’t really follow it closely—let’s hope for the best. (“Hayırlısı olsun” literally: “may it turn out for the best.”)👇

Turkey's Erdogan: Israel's Trojan Horse in the 'Muslim World' 👇

We made this case at NAT long before Nov. 1—months, even years—while the crowd framed Erdoğan as pleading with Assad.👇

Many “Turkey watchers” still clutch this latest broadside from Bahçeli as if it were proof of a rift with Erdoğan.👇

Two months ago, he said he had “other information regarding Akar” and would “make a few videos.” Still nothing. Feels like the “next Friday” promise to show Gezi security-cam footage of a headscarf-wearing woman allegedly attacked by half-naked men—Fridays came and went; evidence never did.👇

1-"This “assist” by Netanyahu to Erdoğan over the Siloam Inscription is not new. It fits a well-worn pattern in which Israeli figures—Netanyahu himself, but also officials like former FM Israel Katz drop statements calibrated to land inside Turkey’s domestic ring and force the opposition to parry.

2-...Mindful of this perception, Ekrem İmamoğlu himself moved swiftly to do damage control. The Istanbul mayor – Erdoğan’s most prominent rival and now twice victor over the President’s party in the city – publicly rebuked the Israeli foreign minister’s comments. İmamoğlu “returned” Katz’s...
