He also criticized the position of the Islamic world, saying, "We must admit that the Islamic world did not pass this test well."

Erdogan stressed that Muslims welcomed the holy month of Ramadan this year with a heavy heart, due to what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.
In his speech, he recalled the amount of humanitarian aid sent by Turkey to Gaza, which exceeded 40 thousand tons, indicating that this aid will continue.
He stressed that Turkey, as it did before, did not turn its back on any of its brothers, "today it supports its brothers in Gaza by all means."
