 Turkish citizens have once again protested against Israel, the United States and against the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza. While condemning the endless attacks of the Zionist regime and its supporters in the Gaza Strip and showing their support for the Palestinian people, the protesters have called for the suspension of any kind of commercial and political relations between Turkey and the brutal Israeli regime. . During the massive protests, Dogu Princek, the leader of the Turkish National Party, demanded the immediate withdrawal of American troops from the Incirlik Air Base. The Turkish politician has expressed the urgency of leaving the US Air Force in the Incirlik Air Base and handing the base over to the Turkish Air Force. The politician said: The urgency of leaving the US forces in the Incirlik Air Base in the south of Turkey is a thing of the past and the National Party wants to hand over control of the base to the Turkish Air Force. Recently, the Turkish Ministry of Defense confirmed the delivery of US weapons to Israel through the Incirlik base. Incirlik air base located in Adana province in southern Turkey is currently used by the US Air Force. The US military also controls an early warning radar station in the Kurecik region of Maltiye province in southeastern Turkey, which is considered part of the NATO missile defense system. Currently, this fact is more clear that the politicians who rule Turkey, on the one hand, show themselves to be defenders of the Palestinian people, especially the residents of Gaza, but on the other hand, they develop big business and cooperate economically with the Zionist regime. It is because of that, that the leaders of the government of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have been accused by some countries and even the citizens of Turkey itself of carrying out the politics of biting and blowing. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey The leaders of Turkey are abandoning the politics of duplicity by selling strategic products to Israel such as oil, gas and steel and at the same time claiming to defend the Palestinian cause and the oppressed citizens of Gaza. This is despite the fact that in less than two months, more than 17,900 residents of Gaza have been martyred and more than 46,000 injured. Despite the fact that most of the Palestinian martyrs and victims are civilians, the apartheid regime of Israel still continues its genocide in the region. Following large demonstrations against the United States and Israel in Turkey, Devlet Bahçeli, a partner of Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the coalition known as the Republic, has given new conditions to Switzerland for joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This is in addition to the fact that, Turkish leaders, especially Erdoğan, until now have been giving many conditions to Sweden so that it can get membership in the NATO military organization. However, none of Turkey's conditions have been accepted by the countries seeking membership or the leaders of the military organization. Fighting the Kurdistan Party of Turkey (PKK), dealing with anti-Islam and desecrating the Holy Qur'an as well as accepting Turkey's membership in the European Union are among the conditions provided by Turkey before accepting Switzerland's membership in NATO, where there is no not even one of those conditions was accepted by the West. The support of the people of Turkey for the oppressed state of Palestine With this in mind, Devlet Bahçeli, an ally and supporter of President Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, issued new conditions for applying for Sweden's membership in NATO. At the same time, the leader of the Turkish National Movement Party has criticized the unclear position of the Turkish government regarding Sweden joining NATO and said: ' We will agree to Sweden's membership in NATO if lasting peace is maintained between Israel and Palestine. to be recognized as an independent state of Palestine with its capital in East Quds, Israel to agree to pay compensation to the Palestinian people and Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Minister of Israel to be tried in the Hague Court.' The Turkish politician has also emphasized that Western countries must guarantee all new conditions for Turkey so that Ankara accepts Sweden's accession to NATO. It seems that the conditions given by Devlet Baghçeli are an attempt to silence the thinking of the majority and the media that oppose the economic and commercial relations of the Erdogan government and the apartheid regime of Israel. Therefore, the biting and blowing politics of the Turkish leaders regarding the Palestinian people and the crimes of Israel against the residents of Gaza have been turned into the politics of deceiving the thinking of the majority regionally and internationally and especially the citizens of that country. Efforts to show support for the oppressed citizens of Palestine and at the same time to strengthen trade in energy, steel and plastic products with Israel is a painful reality that has been faced with strong reactions from the Turkish people.
