Speaking on his party’s stance on both domestic and foreign affairs, Emiroğlu expressed strong condemnation of the Israeli government and called on Türkiye to lead efforts to remove Israel from the UN.
“Israeli occupation regime’s audacity, including declaring UN Secretary-General António Guterres 'persona non grata' and banning him from entering occupied Palestinian territories, is a result of the international community's inaction,” said Emiroğlu. He pointed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address at the UN as deeply problematic, given the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Emiroğlu argued that Israeli: occupation regime's actions, which have led to the deaths of over 40,000 people since October 7 and violations of the sovereignty of four countries, show contempt for the UN and its mission to uphold peace.
Emiroğlu emphasized that Israel’s membership in the UN must be revoked, stating: “The strongest step against the Israeli regime, who openly defy the United Nations, would be their expulsion from the organization. Israel, which threatens international peace and security, has violated numerous UN resolutions and International Court of Justice decisions. Türkiye should take the lead in initiating this process."
He warned that if the international community does not act swiftly, Lebanon could face a tragedy similar to Gaza. "Lebanon is already under heavy bombardment from the air, and if Israel is not stopped, Lebanon will experience the same devastation as Gaza. After Lebanon, Syria will be next."
Emiroğlu also urged the Islamic world to unite, setting aside their differences in the face of rising regional tensions. He criticized countries like the United States, Britain, and France for their support of Israel, while regional nations remain neutral in the face of a potential war between Israel and Iran.
He noted that countries such as China and Russia have indicated support for Iran, but many Islamic countries are failing to take a stand. “The 'True Promise 2' operation carried out by Iran using hypersonic missiles has demonstrated the weakness of Israeli occupation regime," Emiroğlu said, calling for immediate cooperation among Muslim nations. "The Islamic world must come together and urgently cooperate against this virus threatening the region.” (ILKHA)
