Palestinians chanted for Erdogan and for Turkiye as they see Ankara as a major ally of Palestinians in the region. 

Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip celebrated the election victory of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Caravans of cars carrying pictures of Erdogan and hoisting the Turkish flag were seen in major Gaza Strip cities, including Gaza City, Khan Younis, and others.

Palestinians chanted for Erdogan and for Turkiye as they see Ankara as a major ally of Palestinians in the region. 

Kunafeh shops handed sweets to passers-by and special trays of Kunafeh, decorated with Turkish flags and pictures of Erdogan, were shared by celebrating Palestinians throughout the Strip. 

Despite his recent decision to renormalize ties with Israel, Palestinians still see Erdogan as a reliable ally.

There are tens of thousands of Palestinians in Turkiye, many of whom come from the besieged Strip. 

On Sunday, Erdogan defeated his rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, 52.87 percent to 47.13 percent.

  1. Palestinians who celebrated the false victory of Erdogan still see Erdogan as a reliable ally, despite his renormalization of ties with Israel, the zionist killer of Palestinians. These Palestinians are unfortunately relying on a betrayer who they think to be their ally. But they should know or they will learn that Erdogan is a master actor, manipulator and demagogist. He’s not a muslim but an islamist-panturkistic dictator who wants to re-establish an Ottoman like structure under the hegemony of the Turks. Of course under his personal sultanate. Erdogan is not in love with Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims. He is in love with himself and with the Turkish hegemony over the Arabs and Muslims.
