We are too late for those kids who, in answer to the question \u2018what will you become when you grow up\u2019, say \u2018we, the Palestinian children, cannot grow up\u2019. We have not gathered today to remember the children whose games were about dodging bombs, carrying the wounded on stretchers, digging in the rubble and becoming martyrs. We are here today because we are demanding a ceasefire, without ifs and buts.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cI never thought that one day we would use the phrase of \u2018unknown soldier\u2019, which is used for unidentified soldiers in wars, for children,\u201d Mrs. Erdo\u011fan said. \u201cA doctor working at Al Shifa Hospital says, the hardest thing is to write \u2018unknown baby\u2019 on the body of a dead little baby, which sums up the horror of Gazan children. Gaza today is a city of unknown children. As a mother, as a woman, as a human being, I refuse to pass on such a dirty legacy to the next generation without the responsible parties being hold accountable. I demand that all relevant members of the State of Israel be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court for all the war crimes they have committed. I believe those who claim that today&#8217;s post-modern holocaust in Palestine is a manifestation of the right to self-defense should be held equally accountable. No one should take for a fool the conscientious people of the world with this ridiculous rhetoric anymore.<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>\u201cALL PEOPLES, IF NOT ALL STATES, ARE NOW ADVOCATES OF THE JUST CAUSE OF PALESTINE\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>Pointing out that the whole world now clearly sees the racist practices, systematic theft and occupation plans that have been inflicted on the Palestinian people for almost a century, First Lady Erdo\u011fan stated that all peoples, if not all states in the east and west, are now advocates of the just cause of Palestine.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cLike their own people, we too are deeply ashamed of the impotence and hypocritical politics that the so-called &#8216;civilized world&#8217;, which claims to be the bearer of humanist values, has descended into for 40 days. No one can throw the first stone, because most of them are historically party to this crime. I appeal to those who defend today&#8217;s ethnic cleansing as the will of the Creator. Allah does not allow the killing of any child. How dare you slander the Creator in such a horrible way? As a Muslim, I strongly reject this,\u201d Mrs. Erdo\u011fan said.<\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"XHoQrchnl5\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/united-for-peace-for-palestine-turkish-first-lady-calls-meeting-of-spouses-of-heads-of-states-govs-pakistan-participating-in-solidarity\/\">&#8220;United for Peace for Palestine&#8221; Turkish First Lady Calls Meeting of Spouses of Heads of States &#038; GOVs &#8211; Pakistan Participating in Solidarity<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;&#8220;United for Peace for Palestine&#8221; Turkish First Lady Calls Meeting of Spouses of Heads of States &#038; GOVs &#8211; Pakistan Participating in Solidarity&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/united-for-peace-for-palestine-turkish-first-lady-calls-meeting-of-spouses-of-heads-of-states-govs-pakistan-participating-in-solidarity\/embed\/#?secret=qa6aGFN8ft#?secret=XHoQrchnl5\" data-secret=\"XHoQrchnl5\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>\u201cNO IDEOLOGY, NO POLITICAL INTEREST IS MORE VALUABLE THAN THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>No ideology, no political interest, no economic gain is more valuable than the life of an innocent human being. I refuse to let humanity succumb to the narcissism of the Zionist wheel, which sees children as fuel to be used to run its unrealistic and unjust plans. With your actions, you are hurting everything that is good, beautiful and right in the world. Do you hear the blood of your brothers and sisters that you killed calling out from the earth? No divine covenant, no legitimate political ideology covers oppression. History shows with countless examples what fate awaits those who commit massacres, occupations and theft on earth, and those who prevent people from practicing their beliefs. The conscience of history has never been on the side of the oppressor. Let those who commit this atrocity today know that their names will be remembered alongside Cain who killed his brother out of jealousy and greed, Nimrod who slaughtered children, and Pharaoh who killed hundreds of newborns. You will be remembered in association with as the cruelty that sought to exterminate the Jews in the recent past,\u201d Mrs. Erdo\u011fan said.<\/h5>\n<h5>Stating that almost the same expressions used by Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish girl in the Second World War, when she wrote about the persecution she experienced in her diaries, are used today in the videos of Bisan Owda, whose house was destroyed in Gaza and who had to flee to the south, First Lady Erdo\u011fan said: \u201cI wonder what difference those, who remain silent when an Israeli minister considers dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza as one of the options, see between Hiroshima\u2019s daughter Sadako and the children of Palestine.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>\u201cWHAT CRITICAL THRESHOLD OF DEATH ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO STOP THIS ATROCITY?\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cI hereby would like to ask the State of Israel and the five permanent members of the United Nations, who are responsible for establishing peace and order in the world; what critical threshold of death are you waiting for to stop this atrocity? I would like to ask the international community, whose silence is deafening. After 40 days of this disgraceful period, what right do you have to defend peace and justice and the universal values of humanity in the world? What are we to make of the silence of the world leaders, who lined up to protect the rights of the victims of Charlie Hebdo, who posed with great enthusiasm in that photo, in the face of the innocents of Gaza? Does the definition of human beings, whose rights are protected in the Declaration of Human Rights and in many international conventions, include only those within the borders defined by the West?\u201d Mrs. Erdo\u011fan said.<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>\u201cWE WILL NEVER GIVE IN TO THIS DARKNESS\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cWe will never give in to this darkness that discriminates one life from another and devalues everyone and everything that is not their own. We will defend a global understanding that embraces human beings with compassion and sees them as intrinsically valuable, regardless of language, religion, race or color. We will forever stand against the discriminatory mentality that evaluates the innocent, the refugee, the woman and the child, in short, the human being according to where they come from,\u201d the First Lady said.<\/h5>\n<h5>Pointing out that what they are witnessing today is not a war, but an effort to impose a world order in which only the most powerful and cruelest survive and other lives can be easily expended, First Lady Erdo\u011fan said: \u201cThat is why I call on all the spouses of heads of state to be the voice of those who are being killed in Gaza, those whose voices are being suppressed and silenced as a massacre continues. The Gazan and international media, medics, humanitarian aid workers are standing watch for humanity at the cost of their lives while the international community, which is obliged to protect them, are failing. Let us stand watch for them wherever we are, with all the means at our disposal, until a ceasefire is declared. On social media, which has become the new public sphere, let us all keep watch together and continue our call for an immediate ceasefire, peace and humanitarian aid. Each of us individually has a strong voice, and together we have a much stronger voice. Let us join our words for a ceasefire right now, for them and for the world. Let&#8217;s take this meeting from words to action and turn it into an initiative for peace in Palestine.\u201d<\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yMStl3dC6U\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/save-the-hospitals-from-israeli-storming-raise-the-reactions-sos-call-from-palestine-to-world-community\/\">SAVE THE HOSPITALS FROM ISRAELI STORMING &#8211; RAISE THE REACTIONS &#8211; SOS CALL FROM PALESTINE TO WORLD COMMUNITY<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;SAVE THE HOSPITALS FROM ISRAELI STORMING &#8211; RAISE THE REACTIONS &#8211; SOS CALL FROM PALESTINE TO WORLD COMMUNITY&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/save-the-hospitals-from-israeli-storming-raise-the-reactions-sos-call-from-palestine-to-world-community\/embed\/#?secret=vz1R79Khdt#?secret=yMStl3dC6U\" data-secret=\"yMStl3dC6U\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>\u201cWE OWE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN A DIGNIFIED FUTURE\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cBecause while a ceasefire is our primary goal, it is not the ultimate goal. Let us call on the whole world, with one voice, to unite our efforts to achieve lasting peace in Palestine and Israel. We owe Palestinian children and youth a dignified future, other than death or being killed. That is why now is the time to build the long overdue peace promised by the two-state solution of a fully independent State of Palestine, whose territorial integrity is preserved, with East al-Quds as its capital. For the peace and tranquility of the region and even the world, the unjust occupation of Palestine must end and Israel must return the usurped lands to its rightful owners, the Palestinians. Gaza must be rebuilt from its ruins so that it can offer its children a bright future. A fund should already be established within international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to rebuild schools, parks and hospitals destroyed by Israel,\u201d First Lady Erdo\u011fan said.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cPlease keep in mind; today we may see Palestine in ruins, blood, tears and smoke, but beyond this dark picture, we have a dream for Palestine,\u201d Mrs. Erdo\u011fan said. \u201cA dream where Palestinian children, regardless of their religion and ethnicity, run hand in hand on the beaches of Gaza. A Palestine where lemon trees blossom, where the sun shines on olive branches, where fathers meet their children without fear, where mothers kiss their children and put them to bed, not to the grave. This Palestinian dream is in our hands, in our promises, in our actions today. In the darkness that surrounds us, you who intend to be a light for humanity with your consciences, I am so glad that we have you.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar\u2019s mother Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, First Lady Marieme Faye Sall of Senegal, Queen Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah of Malaysia, First Lady Ziroat Mirziyoyeva of Uzbekistan, First Lady Antoinette Sassou N&#8217;Guesso of the Republic of the Congo, First Lady Rebeka Sultana of Bangladesh, Croat member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zeljko Komsic\u2019s wife Sabina Komsic, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati\u2019s wife May Mikati, First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousef\u2019s wife Nadia El-Nakla, Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh\u2019s wife Amina Ali Muhammed El-Shavush El-Dilawi, Palestine\u2019s Special Representative Ferial Kamel Abdalrahman Salem, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan\u2019s wife Sheikha Alyazia bint Saif Al Nahyan, Egypt&#8217;s Planning and Economic Development Minister Dr. Hala Elsaid, and Turkmen diplomat Chinar Rustamova attended the summit.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>First Lady Mihriban Aliyeva of Azerbaijan, First Lady Rosangela da Silva of Brazil and First Lady Cilia Flores of Venezuela sent video messages to the summit.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mggB7WDobN\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/first-lady-of-pakistan-condemns-brutal-indiscriminate-use-of-force-by-israel-against-civilians-of-gaza\/\">First Lady of Pakistan Condemns Brutal ,Indiscriminate Use of Force by Israel Against Civilians of Gaza<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;First Lady of Pakistan Condemns Brutal ,Indiscriminate Use of Force by Israel Against Civilians of Gaza&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/first-lady-of-pakistan-condemns-brutal-indiscriminate-use-of-force-by-israel-against-civilians-of-gaza\/embed\/#?secret=BJwsbiyMOM#?secret=mggB7WDobN\" data-secret=\"mggB7WDobN\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISTANBUL: First Lady Emine Erdo\u011fan addressed \u201cUnited for Peace in Palestine\u201d Summit, which she hosted in Istanbul with the participation of the spouses of heads of state and government and special representatives from numerous countries. \u201cWe have not gathered here today to discuss the Ministry of Education of Gaza, which announced that the academic year [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[1930,1819,109,1258,285,1181,2259,4245,48,154,382,616,312,2589,125],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24343"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24343"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24348,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24343\/revisions\/24348"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
