Press Release
A Whole Year Has Passed, And 57 Countries Have Not Taken Any Action!
(Translated)

76 years have passed since the Jews usurped the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a whole year has passed since Al-Aqsa Flood operation against the occupation, massacres and genocide. With Al-Aqsa Flood, it became clear that the usurping Jewish entity is in fact a paper tiger, and that its existence continues due to the treachery of the agent regimes. Thus, its image that these regimes had drawn, that its army is invincible, was destroyed. Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, 2023 disrupted the normalization plans of all regimes in the region, especially Turkey and Saudi Arabia, which were dealing with the usurping Jewish entity.

The Jewish entity, supported by the kaffir America and other colonial Western countries, has killed more than 41,000 martyrs among our brothers in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. It has used 100,000 tons of bombs in 3,650 massacres in one year. It has burned and destroyed hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, shelters, and even tents. Our brothers and sisters have been sentenced to hunger and thirst due to the siege imposed on Gaza. Over the past year, Muslims have filled the squares, marched to consulates and embassies, and demanded that the rulers take action. Scholars have issued fatwas calling for the mobilization of armies to liberate Gaza and Palestine. However, the regimes in the Islamic countries have not responded to their calls, nor have they complied with the fatwas of scholars. They have contented themselves with condemnation and repeated talk about the two-state solution plan that America has taught them by heart.

We, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Turkey, have carried out hundreds of activities in the past year, including organizing marches, issuing press releases, holding conferences, discussion panels, and giving interviews, to support our brothers in Gaza. We have also made a concrete, clear, and sincere call to end the occupation by saying, “Armies to Al-Aqsa.” However, no steps have been taken to stop the genocide in Gaza. Today, on the first annual anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th this year, we held marches and delivered a press release titled, “A Whole Year Has Passed, And 57 Countries Have Not Taken Any Action!” in 16 different cities across Turkey; in Istanbul, Ankara, Adana, Mersin, Hatay, Şanlıurfa, Siverek, Van, Tetouan, Gaziantep, Konya, Karaman, Aksaray, Duzce, as well as Izmir and Aydın.

We addressed the rulers again in our press release and said: “O Rulers: Beware of forgetting that the usurping Jewish entity does not understand words. It does not understand negotiations, ceasefires, diplomacy, and boycotts. It only understands force and war. The only solution to this is to mobilize the armies and eradicate the usurpers from the blessed land they have usurped. So, before it is too late, obey the command of your Lord Al-Aziz Al-Qadir.”

We also addressed the Muslims and said to them: “O Muslims, Gaza has shown us that 57 leaders are not equal to one Caliph. Gaza has shown us that there is no other way to save Palestine except through the Khilafah (Caliphate), because the Khilafah means the unity of the Ummah and the removal of artificial borders between them. The Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) is the only system of government that will ensure the unity of the divided and fragmented Islamic Ummah and will gather the Muslims under one roof once again. The Khilafah Rashidah is the authority that values ​​the blood, lives and honour of Muslims. The Khilafah Rashidah is the leadership that responds to the cries of the oppressed across the oceans by mobilizing the armies. Therefore, what should be done is to install a Rightly-Guided Caliph (Khaleefah) who will mobilize the armies to eliminate the Jewish entity. The time has come to work towards establishing the Khilafah Rashidah.”

May Allah bless all Muslims who participated in our events, the scholars and opinion makers, who proclaimed the truth for Gaza and Palestine and held the rulers accountable, the groups and masses who kept Gaza on their agenda, and the entire Ummah whose heart beats with Gaza. We ask Allah to guide Muslims to establish the Khilafah Rashidah on the method of the Prophethood that will liberate Gaza and all of Palestine from the Jews, and to bestow His victory upon us at the hands of a Rightly-Guided Caliph and brave leaders... O Allah, Ameen.
